Quick question guys what fuel are you putting in, to your petrol Patrols (lets keep the oil burners out of this they run on an oily rag anyway ) Up here on the reef I have always put in 93 (it uses so much I try to save penny's where I can) Would there be any advantage running it on 95???

Re: What Fuel
Ian afaik the compression rasios in the petrol engines are to low to use the higher octane feul correctly. But let Piet or one of the clever guys explain

Re: What Fuel
95 can't do any harm, but on the other hand you probably won't derive any benefit from it either.
However, if you are filling up here for a trip to the lowveld or coastal regions, chuck in 95...

Re: What Fuel
personally, I haven't found any difference in 93 or 95, so I use 93

Re: What Fuel
We have only been putting in 95! If there is really no difference and it cannot harm the engine - 93 that is.
Then I should start converting to 93?
Is the 4.8 all good with 93?
Interesting thread this.
