Modern fuels & older bikes
Had a mail yesterday,
Hi All,
Great news from Esso. Their new Shell Super Unleaded (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97 and Synergy Supreme+ 99) both contail No Ethanol; although will be marked as E5 (UP TO 5% Ethanol). Not available everywhere. THIS is the fuel to use in your classic, high compression and carburetted motors.
Linky yer ;
Brum Brum Chugga-boom :cool:
...and bikes with plastic tanks.Quote:

I'm not convinced ethanol is harmful to everything running a carb. I ran my old ZZR round the clocks on Tesco's cheapest. I left a tank of Tesco's cheapest in a 1977 bike for almost 3 years and the only thing that didn't break on that was the carb and fuel lines.
So its you we can blame for Global Warming then....:DQuote:
