I was talking to a friend who runs and races Renaults and I normally take everything he says as gold, but after I said what fuel I put into my WRX I got nothing but tuts!

He stated that optimax was found to be watered down! tests showed in some cases as low as 75ron and BP one with a booster should be what I use (or Teco he said but i can not get that around here).

I have only every run on Optimax and a booster and had no problems, + if you test the vapour then it will not be the 98ron anyway surely.

Is he talking crap or what?

 

"Watered down" & "75RON" (75 f*cking RON!) What unmitigated bollocks the man is talking.

 

Errrrrrrrr Yep, a car mapped to run on 95 or 98 RON Fuel would never run on summin thats 75 RON

 

watered down with what?

 

Water?

 

The only watered down fuel ive seen is from a certain supermarket in a certain location and that was diesel because every time i filled up there id get the water in diesel warning light come on

Tony

 

Are you sure he did not mean 95 Ron???

Rob

 

Who is his source for this apparent 'watering down'???

 

whats that smell, is it pigs? horses? no its B*******

 

Your mate spends too much time down the pub talking/listening to bollocks by the sound of things.. As for Racing Renaults are they all scarletrix.

 

You'd have some serious detonation and be using the bottom end for part of a coffee table if there were any truth to that.

 

I've had water in optimax. But this isn't "watered down" its just crap fuel - due it being a lesser used fuel. Like any other Super Unleaded fuel sold at anyother station

Always found 95Ron to be more consistant in quality. Whilst 98Ron, or 97ron for that, goes up and down in quality on a regular basis.

 

the ONLY thing that happens to high RON fuel is that they can start to lose the RON and start to deteriorate after a period of time,im not really sure by how much or over what amount of time,but if you use a petrol station that has a good turn over that wont happen either.
As for watered down fuel,un fookin believable,i doubt that very much

 

I think this man knows alot about nothing!!!!

 

must be

i dont thin he meant water down with water, but be must be talk crap, he did said however that Shell maybe selling V-Power in the uk very soon cus of Tescos move (V-Power is 100ron and sold in the EU but for some reason not here) anyone know if this is ture aswell?

 

Next time you see your mate,take a cricket bat full of nails,beat him round the head with it and tell him not to be such a tit

 

diese in a scoob l

 

crap joke i know

 

a bit harsh, i will just tell him hes a tit and maybe if you feel such a comment needs actions like that, you can hit him. (he a big lad, i not hitting him) lol

 

What a load of crap eh
