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.

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 :rant:

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

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.

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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
