Ow!

Recourse?

We plan on contacting Sunoco tomorrow and starting a dialog on this. There are now 3 engines that were substaintally damaged running this fuel. I'll update the thread as this progresses.

Just a question - what's the margin error in the tests? I do a lot of testing to ASTM specs and every machine gets slightly different results, even on the same materials to the same standard.

It still doesn't answer the question. Two different testing machines/fixtures will almost always come up with different results. How much so is this with octane testing?

Think engine dynos - they can be calibrated the same and made by the same manufacturer, but be 10% different.
