Gas

I read some where at one time that ethanol is not good for 370Z engine gaskets, or something like that. But that could be wrong. Just because someone said it, it's not necessary true.



Shell does not put ethanol into their V-power gas, it's 91 octane. That is all I ever use.

Ethanol is fine for the Z's engine. Straight E is less energy dense than gasoline so it requires a tune, aka injectors to be scaled roughly 30% more.

The thing to watch out for E is having rubber fuel line because it will eat the lines and then it will end up in the fuel injectors. All the fuel lines should be PTFE.

I ripped all the fuel lines out of my car and can't recall exactly where, if any, rubber lines are in OEM form. Charles/Phunk with CJM is pretty much the authority on OE fuel lines and what to do.

It' snot good for anything. LOL

BTW, ALL gas in Canada including Shell V power and Chevron 94 now CONTAIN 10% Ethanol. Thanks to our supreme Left wing leader. Saving the planet from everyone else.

"Shell Canada
Enquiry: Ethanol content in V-Power gasoline
Response:
Good morning, Starting in 2022, all gasoline grades sold in Canada will be blended with ethanol, including premium gasoline (V-Power 91 and 93) according to proposed regulations (10% ethanol Federal Clean Fuel Regulation for 2022, Low Carbon Fuel Requirements and need to reduce the carbon intensity of fossil fuels, which ethanol is one mechanism to reduce carbon intensity).
All the provinces are switching slowly, and If you see the label at the pump, “Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol” is already happening".
