Rolla Newbie Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have been getting differing advice re fuel. Some say these donks will run fine on unleaded, others say to use valve lubricant. Which way to go? Thanking you for your advice Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 unleadeds fine BP ultimates better though :P Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 no need for additive. toyota says so, seeings as these motors were available overseas when unleaded was the norm they have been built for it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.KE70 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 well, i have an idea. If you fill up with premium every 10 refills, itll get rid of shit havgin round in ur fuel lines/carby/tank etc. i learnt this as i own a ke70 and a motorbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 :P petrol is petrol, one isnt gonna clean crap out more than the other. unleaded cleans the lines in older cars when they are first changed to it coz it has a cleaning agent in it. this is why sometimes people think its doing damage coz theyre filter is getting filled with black shit, but really its stripping out years of shit in the fuel lines :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Tassie has just got BP ultima (98 octane). I tried it last night. I noticed a slight difference in power over the regular unleaded petrol, and smoother acceleration. fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas_ae71 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Tassie has just got BP ultima (98 octane).I tried it last night. where about stock it? i use 95 octane fuel, the prevoius guy who ownd it only used regula (91 i think) and when me and my old man took it for a test drive it started to ping high up in the revs, i ALWAYS use premium and havnt had it ping since.. i have been using valve lub, but i wont bother anymore. less expence. what sort of price is fuel on the big island? in tassie went to fill up, our shitty permium was $1.49!!! on a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might have been around $1.52 or $1.53, while regular unleaded was $1.41. On Flinders Island its $1.71 for regular unleaded.
