i find the BP one is quite good so is the mobile 8000, optimax is my least favorite cause i know how they make it and that it isnt a true 98 RON fuel:( But its still better that ULP:D Avgas with toulene in it goes really good but thats only on special ocassions:uh-huh:

Ok, my truth is....

And dont laugh...

I use a special blend... I have to tell you the secret ingredent or you will all think im crazy using ULP

.. OK ...

1. Nulon Octane Boost & Clean

2. Mobil Regular unleaded

then... wait for it....

3. 500ml of Metho...

The reason is all fuel, no matter where you buy it contains water in it. Maby only 0.2% but its there and it will wear your motor if the quanity gets high... So i use metho to soak the water and as you know metho burns... Allot of spray painters use it.. Because for some reason allot of water seems to get into fuel tanks when their getting painted or baked??? But anyway metho is not good for the engine either but its better than water and is only a tiny proportion.. So then i use Nulon Octane Boost & Clean to lubricate or over compensate the dryness of the metho and it also boosts the octane up to a Premium level at the same time...

I have proven these results at TAFE on a 5 gas analizer...

NOTE: I have included a chart that shows the best octane boost's to use on your car... The Nulon octane boost & clean can be bought at any Super Cheap for $9 per bottle and one bottle lasts 4 tanks... But i use one every two tanks and i get heaps more KM's per tank when using it so it pays for itself... OKIES

troy, is it? tell me more...

yup

WA's fuel regulations for emissions etc are stricker. Which means it is refineded to a greater standard and has less additives so it burns better and works more efficently when compared to other fuels in Aus.

Doc,

just throw in 500mls....

I put it in with a full tank...

But make shaw you put it in last, because metho is a heavy liquid and will work its way to the botom of the tank and will suck any moisture up with it... Okies..

I usually fill to full on the way to wrk and then will throw 500ml in when i get home, as theres no room for metho once the tank is full... Sound easy, well thats cause it is....

Cheers

Colin

I also remember seeing, somewhere, sometime, someone had done some proper testing on the fuels and BP Ultimate was consistently over 98. Optimax is rated up to 98.

:lol:

i used to use optimax and nothing but for a while. then i used bp and nothing but. result, car still used to work.:)

nah seriously, i've heard so many different stories and tips and whatnot. at the end of the day each car reacts to each fuel differently. some ping more on shell while others ping more on bp. you just have to find the right fuel for you. a knock sensor always helps. that's how i found the right fuel for my old car.

i recal something along those lines too. something about bp having the cleanest & highest octane due to lower additives. they also are the ones that sell the pupl to all the other companies.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
