What a load of sh8t!!! we, the consumers end up being screwed over every chance the oil companies get a chance.

oooh he lost patience, how fkn scary. FINE THE f**kERS TWICE THE PROFITS THEY MAKE FROM THE PRICE HIKES AND LETS SEE THEM LAUGH THAT OFF !!!

I agree!!! Its about time they had some real power and started handing out severe punishments to the oil companies equal to days worth of profits to screw them as much as we are being screwed!!!

Yeah... they're still using the same weeks old story.

I'm not truly convinced this is the real reason.

To me it makes no sense at all that a handful of failed catalytic units has this much impact.

Oh... all at the same time, mind you - And at different companies refineries as well.

Quite remarkable!

They would surely have some redundancy built into their systems in the event that some of their equipment fails?

I mean, this is a multi-billion dollar industry, not some back yard operation. The same problems still persist for this long?

Maybe they should, umm... fix it?

Perhaps I'm just too sceptical/paranoid, but I mean, come on.

Thanks for the link mad082.

you also have to remember that all the fuel companies don't have a refinery in every state. so in some states they buy fuel of another company. so if the company supplying has an issue then that will effect 2 companies at the bowser.

  • 4 weeks later...

I live in Mt Annan Sydney.. There's a Shell down the road about 5mins away.. Always out of V-power and sometimes unleaded .. sh*ts me to tears..

Then there's BP (10mins away).. sometimes get BP Ultimate.. if I'm lucky.. and finally Caltex.. mmm I'd rather not go there..

It's a real sh*t fight trying to get decent petrol.. where I live anyways..

they dont work full stop=google. use acetone...or even better some tolulene

maybe u shud move out of the sticks

*plays banjo* :D

LOL, if you think Kiama is bad... next month I'm moving to Tasmania!

Toluene hey? I'll look it up thanks

Yeah, its ridiculously bad this year.

I almost caved in and put some Vortex in... but 95 octane... meh, ptui.

The only servo within say 20Ks of me is a Caltex. Maybe I should start buying bloody BP Ultimate in 44 gallon drums :\

PS: I don't even bother checking availability at Shell anymore, it's pointless.

for sure man. i cant remember the ratio....but there was a thread about tolulene and acetone. tolulene has better results. using 91 ron fuel + tolulene it bumped it up to around 100ish ron.

research.

Yes I think I will...

I'll see if I can get confirmation that tolulene is safe, what ratio to us, price etc...

I was forced to chuck in some 95 octane today - still no 98 octane anywhere around here of any kind... fsck.

toluene is safe but it also burns more slowly, so it's good for raising octane but mostly for the safety aspect. the slow burn side of things makes your engine less efficient at making power (98 RON would give you more power than 95RON + toluene to bring it up to 98).

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
