There seems to be a lot of chemists on this thread........
Ethanol causes your engine to rust! Don't fill up with cheap fuel, use the expensive stuff!
And while your at it, go to a motorway service station cause theirs is so expensive it cures the rust in your engine that you caused by using Tescos shit ____________________ Previous Bike: Skyjet SJ27

Probably, but:
Regarding Shell V-Power. I worked at a Yam dealer where the head mechanic would recommend its use for minor fuelling issues, especially on carb'd bikes. Some customers came back and reported improvements with it.
A few years later, a mechanic I trusted very much recommended to me that I use it all the time - he rated it highly for similar. Mind you, he wasn't the one paying for it
I have found that Fazer 1000s (FZS) run a bit more smoothly on it. I'm fairly convinced that this is an instant benefit over other fuels on these bikes, although it's a marginal benefit as far as I can tell. But most of the time I just run 95 octane fuel, usually from big-name brands. No problems experienced. I've occasionally used the supermarket fuels (95) as well, haven't experienced any problems, but I don't use them often for the bike. They're fine all the time in the car.
But, you don't get much more anecdotal than all that ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

As far as anecdotal, the only additive I've found to do anything for anything would be redex for diesel which only seemed to help with old school CAV fuel pumps. Anywhere else I've not seen it do sh*t.
Same for redex for petrol everything |

Kin DPFs. Don't get me started. My nearest place is an Esso so that's what it gets. I always fill up whatever I'm
in/on when I go for fuel. Can't see the point of odds and sods here and there. Besides, too many people do their bloody
shopping, scratchcards, lottery, electric and tobacco at the same time. I'd rather visit as infrequently as I possibly can
and not be stood behind them while they balls about buying other stuff that is freely available elsewhere at a variety of
locations, whereas I'm limited to buying fuel at fuel stations. It's always a fkin woman too, wistfully choosing
a nice bunch of flowers to take home oblivious to the fact the queue of cars goes onto the road, then she PICKS UP A
BASKET and goes inside to ponder what bottle of wine to take home that will be nice with dinner.
As if fuel caps, plastic gloves, driving through car wide gaps and parking within a metre of a pump don't slow
women down enough, they give them somewhere to shop as well??? Who thought of that should be shot.
Anybody familiar with the Tesco Petrol station in Warmley will know exactly what I mean. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 17 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
