You can run it but your tune will be WAY off.

Looks like you have a leaded fuel...don't pour it in.

You might want to list what injectors and fuel pump you have.

As long as you are not running ID1000/ID2000 or FIC1100cc/FIC2150cc injectors you are fine to run that fuel.

Most fuel pumps sould not have an issue with Q16, I have ran it on Walbro pumps and Bosch 044 with out any issues.

If you car is tuned for C16, the Q16 will make it run a little leaner. Just pour it in and tweak your AFR's a little bit. In fact a lot of people prefer Q16 over C16. The q16 is more or less the same thing as c16 except it is oxygenated fuel.

According to the chart the one he thought he bought is leaded as well.

Both the fuel he ended up with and his original intended fuel show as leaded.
