It's been like 2 - 3 weeks now with no Ultimate. I've had to use some Synergy 98 & Optimax.

I want Ultimate again! Anybody who always uses ultimate but is having to use another fuel feeling the difference? speak up.

I think Optimax has been slower, 3rd gear 12psi just isn't pulling as quick I think.

I have been using vortex98 for the last few tanks and fuel economy is exactly the same.

The car does pull harder in 2nd and 3rd!!

I was suprised but my car runs better on vortex98 than ultimate or optimax.

I'm of the understanding that most of the east coast has got an Ultimate shortage, with stocks to be restored at the end of December or early January.

I've been giving Synergy 8000 a go, I'm on my 3rd or 4th tank, I've noticed that power seems to be ever so slightly up, though my fuel economy has dropped slightly.

yep, there's been none in my town for at least 3 weeks (2 BP's, both out).

is really beggining to sh*t me cos i gotta drive 15 mins down the road to get optimax, or remember to fill up when im passing a shell/mobil out of town.

tried vortex and wasn't real keen, my knock levels went higher than i've ever seen them (although was a warmish day and car is tuned for ultimate).

Well ive been running on synergy 8000 and recently swapped to optimax extreme.. and as far as im concerned it kills bp ultimate. I've got noticable power differences, specially after re-setting the ecu.

Though will good to be back to ultimate again, no ethanol or anything to worry about:)

i think the "Ultimate" part in BP ultimate's name has a lot of people fooled lol

I think you'll find most workshops agree you can tune the hardest on Ultimate for any pump 98 fuel in Aust.

#1 Ultimate

#2 Synergy 8000

#3 Optimax

Some people say Synergy is a tad better than Ultimate but usually Ultimate is the prefered fuel for tuners trying to get the most outa it. I got the most power & lowest knock out of my car tuned on Ultimate.

how do you go about resetting the ECU?

Disconnect the battery, press the brake pedal to drain all the remaining power. Maybe leave it for a while then just hook the battery back up.

And I've been using Optimax since they went out of Ultimate and to be honest there is no difference at all imo. :(

i ran my car on ultimate all the time and i found it pulled harder, had better economy and ran better, less lumpy in the idle. Using vortex and sh*t like that made my car crap, noticed it clutch kicking at pt.g last week.

GO BP ULTIMATE!!!!!!!! please come back to me

Sounds like you guys over east are just getting what we went through over here about a month ago. The refinery had a problem so they couldn't produce anything but normal unleaded, so most stations were without 98 for a few weeks. Over east was still ok because they stockpile it I guess. Now that it's normal over here, that was probably the priority so all the fuel has probably came to us. :)

It won't be too long I imagine. Unless there are BP refinery's over east, I would think there would be which would mean I'm babbling shit.

You lot are complaining but over here Ultimate is the only 98 fuel we can get so it hurt us a LOT more!!!

Ultimate is more expensive than extreme 100 here in QLD... On any given day BP is at least 2 cents dearer than shell at aspley and virgina....

So i stopped going to get fuel from BP along time ago...

I had the fc tuned on optimax and found extreme to knock a bit more but the extra 50km;s per tank has not rally made me a fan... ill stick to 98 plus i get 4c off a litre at shell also...

So thats a saving of about 3 bucks a tank... I also get a 600ml coke when i fill so thats a free coke in my books....

50-60 litres of fuel for the car and 600ml of coke for me....

      Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.

      Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them.

      Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.

      Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
