Hi guys
I also enjoy sharing my knowledge of safe and ethical gay **** consumption with my friend, ensuring that we both make responsible choices in our viewing habits.

Immediately call the gas station and tell him you got a bad batch of gas

By the way you don't need high octane, regular gas is fine in a superhawk unless it Has high compression pistons and maybe a hot cam or 2

Drain all the gas out of the tank and fill it with fresh gas of a known quality Be sure to drain the float ***** and charge the battery and start it again maybe add some techron concentrate while you're at it

I have over 100,000 miles on my 98 and usually use regular gas and techron occasionally

The only time you really need E0 if possible is when you store it full over the winter drain the float bowls.

GL!

To high octane....E5 is 97 The Superhawk is a 9:5 to 1 engine.. Runs fine on 91 octane...
Engine was intended to operate on 87, 88 octane

Mine does fine on 87, even 91 is wasteful and actually it may run hotter on it...

Since day one, I've always used the lowest octane available. As stated, the Hawk does not need 91 or higher.
