A local station sells 102 RON fuel, without ethanol. My other classics love it, but these have carburated engines (SUs and Weber).
How does the 914 react to that sort of stuff? Experiences? Do's & Don'ts? I really would like to read your comments. Menno |

Probably best to run a fuel additive and swap out your rubber fuel lines with ethanol rated rubber. 100+ fuels make my 2.2s 6 happy though. |
