R35 Prep For Rally Tas

[Marlin]

"Your" 98 is shipped in the same unflushed container as kero, diesel, 91 octane etc...... we'd rather not take the risk of a bad batch. I've seen it too many times before.

But do tell if there's been a major change in the garunteed quality of the fuel?!?!

[Wogboy]

Didn't know that I've been using the 98 here in Burnie since day one in three cars & never had an issue.

I'll have to make some inquiry's

[Marlin]

I'm only going off what Vandenbergs and Whites have been telling me for eons.......... and I've just re-confirmed that its still the same with Fanbelt on the phone now.

Ah, maybe a ploy to buy there fuel just kidding!

I know a bloke out at BP, next time I see him I'll ask the question.

[Marlin]

Yes please do ask.... would be good to have a definative answer

Like I say, just spoke to Vandenberg again, he said they're not running over to the mainland for 98 fuel this time, but suggested we bring our own to run in the 35.... don't wanna risk one of thiose engines

[Duncan]

Indeed. I would say my $4/litre fuel was better than $1.50 pump fuel too......

Looking forward to seeing the car in the flesh Ben, I'll be SOS on the chicane on stages SS2,7,8 and 13. Hopefully i'll be able to have a video camera running so i can see the performace of it accelerating out of the chicanes.

Okay the car has some colour on it now, pre event scrutineering is done.

bits & pieces still to do but getting close, car leaves Sunday

i love all black, but i think it came up good.

Sweet I'll give you a wave on the way past

ahh looks good, the stickers always make the race car.

no idea how you found spare money from ACL though considering their last 12 months!

Kel and Tony's 35, and the 32 are on the boat to Burnie on Thursday arriving Friday

Just a little something my mate at the Advocate whipped up to support the Boys racing next weekend.

[t01-100]

the car looks awesome russ!

over the next couple of months i'm going to take some random samples of tassie pump bp 98 and have them tested by the company we have contracted for next years events do get some hard data of local 98.

[Wogboy]

Spoke to a manager down at the wharf the other day, he told me that the fuel comes in different tanks. They (the fuel companies) won't risk cross contamination, they have pretty stringent quality control procedures. So hopefully it's as good a quality as any where else in the country

[giant]

hey thanks Stuart, i will proably be meeting you soon.

i really want to do the Wrestpoint Targa, & will have an entry in very soon. sounds like a top event.

also atleast we know we can get fuel over there!
