2. run a tank of 98 every now and then to clean out the fuel system and avoid gummy buildup in your fuel system

How often do you guys fill up a tank of 98 to clean it?

United have very rapidly raised their prices, I have been considering getting my car retuned back onto 98 so I can get some kms per tank again since I'm not seeing prices as low as they used to be at the pump, it's a joke how much they've raised it.

This sort of explains it, basically instead of being set separately to oil prices all together as it should be the bulk ethanol prices actually is dependent on crude oil prices.

Making it not as cheap as it should be. Can't find the original article I read saying it's now being set the same way the parity pricing agreement with oil works.

From my understanding of ethanol, I wouldn't bother with a tank of 98 to "stop it gumming" as Ethanol is a solvent, which means it will actually clean out the gummy build up, as well as help clear up carbon build ups etc.

No point whining about it, I heard every excuse for not running e85 in Sydney over the years, it's too far away to fill up, Caltex e85 isn't consistent, not enough servo's to run e85 daily...

If more e85 was being sold they would have put more pumps in, end of story. I used to drive 22k's each way to fill up, in the snow with bare feet.

    • hello everyone, an RB26, or RB25 project in the medium long term. I don't know much about this engine or turbo engines in general, I'm here to understand and gain knowledge. I have specific objectives for a project
    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
