Folks,
I've recently filled up at one of those 'G' Petrol stations, with the (claimed) 98octane fuel. Soon after that the car started coughing, spluttering, and losing power. I'm sure it's bad fuel cause some other peopl have had the same problem.
Can the bad fuel harm the engine ? How ?
What do I do know ?? Short of draining the tank, is there a way I should be driving ?? Off boost , on boost ?? How can I increase fuel consumption to get rid of the bad fuel ?
I understand that they put ethanol in the fues and low compression engines don't like ethanol - so should I drive arounf at hight revs & boost ?
I put a bottle of nulon octane boost and cleaner in - but it made no difference.
Now, I had driven around and emptied half a tank, and re-filled woth Optimax...
Thanks in advance...
