Im not sure if you can use fuel addatives with rotary engines. Im mean like fuel injector cleaners etc. Im thinking you can but since Im new to the rotary engine I wanted to ask first. I just got it and I dont want to screw it up.

Do you have a turbo??



I am going to break it down in a few catagories for you.. Others may argue, but as long as your Driving a non turbo Rotary, there is no need to run high octane fuel.. it sounds crazy, but i'll let the guru's explain.



As far as additives, i've used them. Just not all the time. I've used amsoil 2 Cycle Additive as well, and found it gave great results.



The reason why i am saying it is a waste to use high octane in a Non turbo, is because of the way the fuel combusts in the engine. High octane fuel (from what i was told) acctually degrades the oil in the engine.. giving you lower compression, which translates into less power. If you have a turbo however, you Must run 93 Octane, you wouldnt want to detonate on your first run.



Please correct me if i'm wrong guys. I'm just going by what i've learned in the 2 years of Rotary's

Actually I was asking about just fuel injector cleaners like stp not octane boosters.
