Bad Gas?
G'day Folks,
I've been using Shell V-Power (98 RON) since I've had my car. Lately, I've been learning to read the logs from my JB4 and discovered there were pretty severe timing corrections (first log) likely due to poor quality fuel.
As an experiment, I added 1/3 of a tank of E85 from United Petroleum to raise the octane. The results show a better timing profile with the E85 blend (second log). I'll fill up at BP next time and see if BP-Ultimate works any better than Shell. Logs were collected under MAP-1.
Another option is to try an Octane booster. Has anyone done any research or testing with these?
Ken
