What is this?? I've heard it tossed around a lot lately. what is a fuse pull? Can it be done on a 2010 1lt? What does it do??

if you have ever put 89 octane in your car...or suspect it, do the fuse pull.
first you will need to run all the fuel under 91 octane out.
my dealer filled up with 89 and i didnt know about the fuse pull.
when i found out, refilled with 93 for 2 tanks(shell) then did the 5 and 20) fuse pull for 12 hours.
you will notice the difference!!!

mine idled better, and performance was noticeably different.
our cars will Go to a low octane fuel table when knock is sensed from low octane fuel and pull timing.
now i use shell 93 or Torco accelerator when i cant get premium.

and stay away from non named brand fuels...lots of alcohol and water in it.

my 2010 loves Shell 93

V8 only i believe.

PAUL SS · 01-28-2013, 09:07 AM

Yes V8 only, manual or automatic. No benefits for the V6.

dcoates18481 · 01-28-2013, 12:07 PM

It does help the V8's if there ever was 87-89 octame run in it.
i think it can be tuned out too.

Trentin24 · 01-29-2013, 12:53 AM

what is the fuse for? I don't understand. The V6 doesn't require premium gas such as 91 or 93 octane. I fill up with 87

It doesnt require it but it will perform better with it.

Doing the fuse pull makes your car think its running on 93 octane?

lscamaro · 01-29-2013, 01:17 AM

No, the fuse pull does absolutely nothing on our cars.

93 octane helps our cars perform better

Trentin24 · 01-29-2013, 01:21 AM

Only 91 available here

lscamaro · 01-29-2013, 01:24 AM

Even that will help over 87

Trentin24 · 01-29-2013, 01:27 AM

Rather not pay the extra 20-30 cents. How does it even help?
