No berwick BP? :laugh:

Checked just for you, Berwick is tomorrow's run and is 14,000 litres so a fairly good amount, 8000 is low and 24,000 is very good. Has a note on there saying "AM Request" so would say head down late morning and the driver has 2 drops before it. It is a special Ultimate delivery, no other product. :D

Got to scoot, g/f getting angry as we are running late! Will respond to any others in the morning.

From what I understand it pretty much all comes out of MOBIL Yarraville? I'm in the transport industry ( not fuel ) and always will chat to a tanker driver when filling up the truck and they all say its the same shit coming out of Yarraville.

Last one I spoke to did say that Shell tries to use there own as much as possible as they have there own tank in Yarraville thats fed from a pipeline from the Geelong refinery but if its empty then it will be someone elses fuel going in.

For all the westies on here, next time your going over the bridge take a look down to the left in Mobil where the tankers park and notice the different brands all parked in the same place. Then notice the huge tanker painted up as BP ULTIMATE in the middle of Mobils property. (same tanker was painted up as optimax couple years back)

I said earlier, they all come out of same refinery but I should have said terminal, that being the Mobil Yarraville one but each company still have their own refinery. Mobil are not the sole creators of all fuel as you said Shell is in geelong however BP's refinery is in WA. The Mobil refinery in Altona delivers it's fuel to the Yarraville terminal via pipeline. The terminal (under the westgate bridge) is co owned by BP which is why you'll see their trucks in there. The fuel get brought into the tank farms via pipe (shell and Mobil) and via ship for BP and interstate and OS fuels.

Bonus for the Mobil terminal is it is on Preemo land that it has had since the 20s, it's right in the shipping lanes.

More about Fuels

Some interesting points above.

I work for the parent company of the largest fuel and gas distributor (80%) here in Oz and have done a lot of work with BP, Shell and Caltex directly hence why I receive their schedules daily. One of my projects has been automating them via a custom mobility solution to each truck.

The trucks you see below the Westgate bridge are ours, that is our Spotswood depot. We have trucks labelled with our company name, the parent company name and also the customer's name e.g BP & Shell.

Interesting link above, thanks for posting.

In reguards to saff cossie post, I actualy saw 2 tankers / trucks, taking the BP Ultimate fuel on the Westgate bridge this morining at like 3-4am today.

I think Doncaster and Templestowe BP still had the Ultimate in stock.

so you're saying your can runs better on a lower grade fuel? right...

He probably uses cooking oil in his engine and dishwasher liquid in the radiator too tongue.gif

Cars not designed to run on high octane fuel and not TUNED to run on that fuel can run better on lower grade fuels. Why is this so hard to beleive. I think the marketing guys at the petrol companies have done a great job convincing ppl to run fuels they dont need.

i saw R34 and thought turbo, and the sticker on my car says 98 or higher, so i would say that is what it's "designed" for. Considering Japan gets even higher grade fuel, i would have thought 98 is where you want to start

I heard that you can get 100 octane pump fuel in Japan. I know a few years back there was something called Shell Optimax Extreme or something, rated at 100 octane but it had 5% ethanol in it.... Can we get real 100 octane in Oz?

Shell V Power Racing is/was 100 RON but its getting harder to find it now. Punt Rd Shell used to stock it, it has the ethanol in it, will chat with the guys and see if we still deliver it as I havent seen a schedule for it for a few weeks at least. :P

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
