Vpower Fuel in Ireland Dublin and Kilkenny
 
Going to Ireland for two days next week my car has two maps one vpower and one vpower and meth, not going to be giving it the beans however is there shel vpower 99 out there. If there isn't I'm going to have to get my car mapped again on lower fuel grade. And is there a lot of shells or is there only a few?

Thank you all in advance

I was told by an Irishman that they only had 95RON. This was a couple of years ago and things might have changed, but I wouldnt rely on that.

Hi, I did some searching as im going for a week in ireland soon and this is what has been said on other forums....

IRISHMAN SAID THIS.....

every garage in the country now only sell 95 ron fuel except maxol with there E5 stuff which is 99 ron as stated above.

E5 will suit all jap imports as their petrol is 100 ron over there as standard, and M3's are designed to run on 97 ron so it will suit them too

Hope this helps in some way???? :thumb:

Irelands best fuel is 97 octane and thats only at a few petrol stations, no V-power here,
a few people when coming over use octane booster for a few weeks as its cheaper then getting a remap whenever they want to come over

Southern Ireland is only 95.

Best you'll get in Northern Ireland is 97

i was looking at a uk classic for sale in southern ireland, bit worrying if they are running it on low octane fuel?

Mus 10 February 2010 10:37 AM

Man that's bad news I would rather be safe and get it mapped on 95 ron. As I'm not to keen or comfortable in using octane booster btw I'll be going to republic of Ireland

you can get E5 in ireland , only in certain maxol garages , which has a rating

of 99 octane , best to just bring a few bottles of booster with u if u get stuck

Mus 10 February 2010 04:59 PM

never used booster before got loads of meth but not a great idea if im plannning to do nearly 1000 miles there and back

Home - Maxol Group - Fuel For All Engines. Maxol is Ireland's leading independent oil company - check the list of petrol stations.

Some of them also sell e85 - in case that could help you, small ratio mix with petrol.

Thank u all for input gents I'll have a chat with martyn at engine tuner and see what he says about it

thanks again guys

southern ireland has E5 which is very similar to shell vpower.

Northern ireland has 97ron in most places..

take some booster and watch the knock warning light.

Cool thanks Simon I'm not really going there for a blast however if I see something interesting come by then I know I might be tempted that's why I just wanted peace of mind

Jolly Green Monster 10 February 2010 10:22 PM

couple of cars I mapped in the UK on shell 99 I have then checked on E5 when they were sold to southern ireland and it was very similar.

Northern 97ron not so good..
