Fuel Issue, Heads-Up!
#1
All,
Spotted a concerning article in the Sydney Morning Herald this day.

www.smh.com.au/articles/2...60527.html

Regarding the amount of ethanol in some fuel sold at some independant fuel traders in South Sydney. Not sure what this stuff would do to a 'Bus, or if it is PULP, ULP or LRP that is being dodgy-ed.

I'll not name the Fuel Traders mentioned in the article, but have a read if you desire.

(Hope I'm not being a panic-merchant, I usually use PULP from Caltex, seems pretty good to me "Vortex" ?? )

Extract below:

A survey of independent petrol retailers in southern Sydney has found two-thirds are selling fuel containing ethanol at levels which car makers warn can damage engines and void manufacturers' warranties.

Samples taken from three of nine randomly-selected petrol stations contained more than the generally accepted safe limit of 10 per cent ethanol - and three more contained 20 per cent or more.

...

Happy 'Bus-ing.

I checked the owners manual, p31 says no more than 10% ethanol or 5% methanol.
