BP is the only refinery in WA anyway, so technically it'll still be BP.

Usually other Brands put there own magic additives in the blend...

but otherwise it'll mean 98 will be easier to get in those situations where you would normally have to hunt for a BP... i think everyone here has had that experience at least once.

ok... who here every time they fill up on bp ultimate put a bottle of octane booster in as well? ive heard that the fuel in japan is 101 octane and that with our fuel we should put in a bottle of octane booster aswell

that would probably make your fuel 98.1 octane and give your plugs a beautiful orange colour

Dan, there actually some good octane boosters out there. Besides orange is pretty.

Can anyone CONFIRM where Peak get their 98 octane from. Is it in fact BP or is it from Singapore?

Well this is great news. The only reason I went to BP was because they were the only ones who had it, now that peak and caltex do i'll be able to shop around. Sure i'll probably only save a few cents each time I fill up, but it's more about the principal :laugh: (and the fact that I hate BP because they are always more expensive and bump up their prices randomly with no valid justification for doing so except to rip people off)

Well they all change their prices randomly. BP is no different.

Anyway why do you hate them so much. Just think where we would all be if BP didn't sell 98 Octane?

Just been on the phone to Peak. They often source their finsihed product from Singapore, but the chemist said their 98 is sourced from a Mobil refinery and is the same spec as the Utimate. I assume Caltex is sourced from one of their east coast refineries but I have not been able to confirm this.

Forgein ayyy! Good info skylion.

Should be cheaper but wont be as they colude to keep prices artificially high. Depending on what, if anything, is used to boost the octane rating, toluene (methylbenzene or phenylmethane) or ethanol it is reasonable to expect your tune up to change. I would be very careful with trying different fuel, check your AFR's and be prepared to make the changes. Hp gains have been made by Skyliners on the East Coast using Ethanol boosted fuels. Caveat emptor

Nicking fuel from the airport LOL mmmmm JetA1

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
