wrong fuel??
 
got a different car this weekend, and, after filling up, guy tells me it only takes super unleaded!! Bit late, its got a tank of normal!

Now, I pretty sure (read hopeful!!) that a tank of this wont do it toooo much damage, if any at all, but could do with some reassurance. He reckons engine damage is a defo, I disagree.

So, any potential problems with this??

monstermob 998 08-Apr-2005 22:45

nothing in handbook??????read instuructions before driving!!!!!!!



what car??

bradders 08-Apr-2005 22:48

350z - probably is in handbook but you would think he would tell me before I take it, especially as it is empty. Not an hour later!!

I reckon ok as long I mix it at half tank time...works ok on my sps so if its good enough for ducati its good enough for nissan!! Oh, and as long as I dont cane it;)

Perhaps thats what he has always put in.

If it was the manufacturer surely something would be on the inside of the cap about what octane etc?

err...there is, just never checked. Knew it wasnt diesel and its not a Ferrari!! so why should it be any different??

bradders 08-Apr-2005 22:53

oh, and pumps dont show octane all the time and a numpty like me doesnt know 98 from 89...assumed all the same!

I reckon you'll be fine. there's very few cars about that "need" super nowadays. In fact it sometimes makes it worse.

Fill it up and enjoy :)
