Years ago when I had a VS Commodore (T4 Lexcen actually) it would ping on 91, 95 and 98. On E10 or LPG it would not.
Hi I have heard that LPG is actually very good at handling higher compression before it may self ignite. It can probably even handle higher compression than even premium 98 unleaded can.
But I don't know about that E10 stuff though. I would have thought that would be similar to regular unleaded 91 in how much compression it can handle before it self ignites.
Hi Nath, As for storing fuel I am pretty bad I think, I have sometimes had 2 stroke mix stored in the shed for over one year and then I still chuck it in the old 2 stroke and mow the lawns with it. I always give the fuel mix a good shake around first in the container before pouring it into the mower. I know I should use fresh fuel but it just runs and mows the lawns. I have been doing this for years. Probably because I used to stock up on around 15 litres of 2 stroke mix some years ago. Now I only use 5 litres at a time so as to not let it sit in the shed for a very long time. I don't use any fuel stabiliser products and I just used regular unleaded 91 in the mix with Castrol 2 stroke oil.
Hi Tyler, maybe he should install a race car style loud buzzer and huge red light on the dash warning the driver that the oil pressure is critically low! lol Also with your Camira and the slight pinging, you could probably try a bottle of octane booster in the tank to see if a slight increase in octane will stop the pinging. The thing is I think if you add say Nulon Pro Strength octane booster to 98 petrol, I think it only raises the octane by around 2 points, so it will make the fuel around 100 octane. I used some of these things years ago when I was messing around with older engine's and pinging etc. It raises the octane more on 91 and 95 fuels. Not much on the 98 fuel.
Cheers!
