Paul said he has seen the same thing several times before with Caltex 98 fuel in Qld) before I had my nizpro stage 2.5 kit fitted. That what I was told when I picked it up. I went back 2 weeks later with a fresh tank of Shell V Power and the end result was 362 rwkw.No other changes bar the fuel.Luke G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst place I have ever bought fuel for was in townsville many a time I needed to drain the tank and go to another servo cause the octane rating was low causing the motor to retard from the knock sensor.

But as for not every Caltex stocking Vortex 98 is a stupid stupid move... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with my car now but with my old EL XR6. Drove around for a week with the car spluttering all over the place. Filled up with Vortex after finishing the dirty fuel and everything was fine on both occassions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
