After sorting out a few problems with the little fella it seems that I still had a problem with a flat spot on pulling away or still struggling with hills but at last it's sorted I've been putting normal unleaded in my tank after talking to my mate he said use the prem fuel so I put a tank of shell vpower in it and bingo problem gone just wonderd if any body else has done this and notice the difference !! Thanks bob
The premium stuff has benefits and i use a tank every now and then but not all the time. Despite people claiming its the same i avoid supermarket fuels in all my cars and avoid BP especially like the plague! Every car i've put BP in runs rough, most notably our focus a few weeks ago. I put £10 in and it was like it was running on 3, all lumpy and hesitant.
Do you folks have ethanol blends? I find that my Jimny runs best on a 10% ethanol blend with a ron rating of 95. Our standard unleaded is only 91 ron and our premium is 96 ron. Given that the ethanol blend is cleaner burning I have stuck with it for years and the car is very happy with it. Also it's the cheapest fuel available here.
I used esso from the top of my road but I've never had a problem until now as I had a diesel truck this is the first time I've used petrol in a few years it just amazed me the difference between the fuels makes you wonder how many people take ther cars to the garage because there running lumpy and get hammers with a large bill at the end of it why can't they bring back four star lol
Thanks Rob, I've always wondered. We have fuels up to 85% ethanol here, it's a bi-product from the sugar-cane industry. What about LPG fuel? That is half price or less than petrol and I run my Shelby on it, $35 for 550k's on a supercharged 300c.i. (4.9l) straight DOHC six. A few guys with Jimny's here have the Liquid Injection LPG systems and they cost nothing to run and have 68l gas tanks.
