I have a 2010 150HO E-tec, started using mid grade gas, 89 octane, always add seafoam when adding gas. Will this help or hurt the engine? Model # E150DHLSC, serial # 05201946.

The 89 octane I believe will neither harm or help unless it is ethenol free. The SeaFoam will help! I qadded a fuel water seporator to my setup giving the ethenol situation.

Thanks for the help, quess i'll go back to 87 octane and consider putting on a water seperator, any brand suggestion ?

I installed the racor 10 micron with sight glass and would recommend it.

Changing/alternating between brands of gasoline is beneficial;ie: getting different additive package from each brand.This will help ridding of deposits as much as adding after-market additives .
