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 |

... should have added that 99% of the stations here only sell 95 RON or 98 RON with Ethanol. Only a handful petrol stations in Holland sell classic car friendly stuff.
Now, 95 RON isn't what the docter ordered, according to the decals near the fuel tank stating that 98 is the stuff for the Teener engine. I don't know if there's a difference between markets, my car is a 73 2.0 European specs car. Price-wise, the 102 RON is more expensive. But hey, to start with, petrol is eyewatering expensive overhere in Holland. And I don't drive more than about 3K miles/year. We're talking nickles and dimes here. Menno |
