Places To And Not To Fill Up Southside

[B-rice]

I fill up at Calwell, and haven't had a problem. Only places I don't go are United, etc.

old but how come you dont trust United ?? they seem to offer the most consitent e85 so i would think the 100ron is good i put this stuff in today and my car felt good hopefully its not short lived.

Let me know when you finish a tank full what you think please

[Trozzle]

I've never had an issue with the 100ron from United.

[Sinista32]

bah - and you live in the same town house.

There is so much about you I dont know - lol

[Trozzle]

LOL well I'll also add I've only ever run 1 tank of the stuff...however previously I've not had an issue with their 98ron stuff either! hmm

[Manuel Kasko]

I've never had an issue with the ONE TANK of 100ron from United.

FYP

I realise that one tank isn't enough to conclude that there's nothing wrong with it, but by the look of it a lot of people here are concluding it (among other fuels) are BAD based upon one tank.

One full tank should give a laymans experience of the fuel. A couple of tanks will give a clear indication of your engine being farked by it.

Point in fact.

Shell decided to put out a fuel for older vehicles that couldn't go unleaded. It farked my engine in my car of the time. In fact many cars were shagged although Shell did not have to pay for the farked engines but instead withdrew the fuel from sale after about 1-2 years.

True story. Not a friend of a friend of an uncles of mine. It happend to me

on the first and only tank full of this fuel too.

From what i found out 100Ron is 98 and e10 mixed.not sure if our vehicles can handle the E10 without having to change the fuel lines etc.

[Manuel Kasko]

E10 shouldnt cause any drama at that level.

Once you start stepping up into the 30+ I think thats when it starts to cause trouble with lines

[Trozzle]

For pretty well any vehicle that conversation here will speak of, the ethanol will not have any negative impact on the fuel lines. People have been running e85 through their stock fuel lines for years with no problems.

Finished my tank today forgot to take down how much millage it does, but i noticed that the engine bay is a lot less hotter than it usually is. Running BP98 and i flogged it up monaro just to confirm this and yes its a lot cooler maybe i should measure the manifold temperature with 98RON and do the same with 100RON.

[B-rice]

Did another tank i noticed it goes quicker i usually do about 480Km with 98 but with this stuff it's only about 400-430.

Thanks for the info Bryce

I usually fill up at the Kambah Caltex - across the road from the Kambah Village. Never had a problem, they fill up their tanks at night so avoid filling up when the tanker is nearby.

Otherwise the fuel there seems to be consistent, it was all re-done not long ago too so new pumps/hoses etc, has to be better than old gear.
