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 |

Menno...
I think you already answered your own question... "My other classics love it" If your TR3A and SAAB 96 love it so will your 914... You know I get all these answers that by me using VP-110 (MON 107/RON 113) race fuel in my old 914-6 street car it's just a waste and bla bla bla.....sure it is 2.5 times more expensive that the local "oxygenated"gasoline with alcohol, MTBE and who knows what else .. but every time I go out and start the 45 year old car...all I have to do is press the gas pedal down 3 times to wet the carb chokes and turn the key and it starts right up....every damn time....heck even my lawn mower and 2 cycle leaf blower run better with it.... So bottom line it works for me and apparently for your vintage Triumph and SAAB Your 914 will like you a lot more.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Have Fun driving your vintage cars! |
