Fuel - What Do You Use?
#31
I use any fuel that's available. 98 is the first choice if not 95 if not 91 if o can't help it
All my bikes/ cars.no issues whatsoever. Now and then on long rides will use injector cleaners etc.
Don't tempt fate,TAUNT IT!

I usually put Shell 98 in my Busa, however, some fuel companies continue to blend their fuel with extra ethanol as it boosts the octane level. I used to work for Mobil Oil around 1999 circ, this was during the time when light aircrafts had to have each refuel analysed and sent to Mobil prior to flight, I was never confident with their process (and I've never used Caltex since).
I would also think twice before using some injector cleaners and it can coat the holes in the injector tip and affect the spray pattern.
There is also a large problem with algae growing in vehicle fuel tanks at the moment (mainly affecting the Queensland region and the fuel companies are currently investigating).
The voices in my head may not be real, but they come up with some dam good ideas!Scary

As you see i made a post earlier, I bought this bike with a 121000 ks on it, serviced 2 years ago , new discs ,tyres etc da da da.Was a deceased estate, and only started here and there over the period from Aug 2010 till 2 months ago. Any way test rode , magic, drained old fuel and HELLO> filled up at local on [good stuff] and has been sitting for three weeks. Guess what as in my post, morning ride turned to shit as in non event due to pulling apart to isolate problem.I am already smelling a rat.Shell fuel and will keep advised.
