Shell fuel

You are a legend Leigh!... :thumb:
I really appreciate for taking the extra effort by doing some research into Shell's misleading crap about friction modified fuel. I knew about it years ago and I can tell you it's one of the biggest croack of bullsh#t conspiracy any fuel company could come up with to conceal their failure. How do you explain a friction modified fuel to a carby guy with a highly modified big block?....My ass! the only moving part in a carburetted muscle car's fuel system is the electric fuel pump if you have one but today you can buy a mechanical fuel pump for any V8 that will support up to 1000 hp. So whats the point in having an electric pump needing friction modified fuel. It's all good if you own a Ferrari or a Lambo with factory fuel system that you can pump Hydrachloric acid through without damaging fuel lines or injectors. It seems Shell has no intensions of catering for the vintage or muscle car fraternity.
Suits me, there are plenty of Mobil, BP or Caltex servos left........for now.      :burnout:

Filled up with Mobil 98 for the run today, sounded good, felt strong.  :thank:

Today i needed to fill up my daily drive with 95RON Caltex,My local had run out,so on to the next one,same again run out,lucky it was on quarter tank,i cruised on to 2 others and the same reply,sorry RUN OUT...NOT GOOD enough...I also noticed they have done away with supplying the 98RON fuel also...NOT GOOD either...So off i went to the local BP...  :bow: No problem,plenty of fuel at BP  :burnout:

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that the shell 98 had Ethanol. I normally use Caltex or Shell for the discount vouchers but I will now stop using Shell and stick to Caltex 98, just in case.
