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?

[SiR_RB]

I never do, mines been on Caltex eflex for almost 3 years, zero issues

[Andrew R33]

Zero issues here too. I change my fuel filter every 12 months

as a precaution

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.

its not really united, its now ethanole is trading on the same market as oil so market price is set along side oil price so varys as much when it shouldnt as its an entirly different economy

[DaRKNT]

Scott, could you please explain that further?

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.

every 5-6 tanks of ethanol i run 1 tank of 98 i dont drive the car every day so that is like once every 3 months or so

[MBS206]

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.

But there will always be the conspiracy theorists that believe it will cause an issue

[zebra]

my car has sat for months with e85 in the tank.

still starts fine

[scotty nm35]

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.

[CLNSKY]

FYI

New united going up on Victoria Road across from UWS parramatta and the sign says it will have E85.

oh im excited

[Andrew R33]

Thats fantastic news.18 km from my place

[r32-25t]

f**k me I just moved out of parramatta

[Andrew R33]

Just drove past the new United at Victoria Rd Rydalmere and its open for business with E85 :-)

[r32-25t]

Is it across the road from the bp?

[Andrew R33]

Yes

[SiR_RB]

They need to open a united servo with e85 in Sutherland shire

Doubt they will until Caltex pull their Eflex from kirrawee. So easy for everyone to fill up there on their way to the nasho
