[Discussion] Which type of petrol do you pump for Phantom?

[VidaK]

lol I somehow missed this thread the past few days... the tank breather hole for phantom tank is at the neck (the opening), so it is not possible to pump "full tank"... the extra petrol will simply overflow out of the breather tube onto the floor... hence for those who didn't notice... thats how the puddles of petrol in front of the pump originate...

[kmjoe]

just an habit lor. it is said to be able to "squeeze" more petrol into your tank. not a proven fact la. dunno how reliable issit. just hump lor. abit of exercise for myself and my bike's suspension. LOL!

 

u can try turning ur throttle den let go, u can c ur petrol level lowering when u do that, tts wad i learn frm my fren... instead of doing indecent humping act in the public =x

it is not a good idea to flood the cub i think. you only damaging your carb and the parts inside the carb.

 

 

 

 

Joshua, time to submit your report liao on mixing petronas primax with shell vpower.

[kmjoe]

oh... thks for the advice guys, will stop doing it than... anyone here got advice to pump w/t riding on our bike? (for thouse using shell petrol)

i add in a little of singapore v power.. Not much improvemements.. pickup seems to be more powerful? or is it a mind thing?

phantom fuel consumsion high anot??

[kmjoe]

i tink i just clocked abt 45km/l with shell 95 i not sure isit coz i was unable to really pump "full" coz of the stupit side stand rule frm shell or use wrg calculation or both... this is how i count:

mileage i pump petrol now - mileage i last pump = A

A / amt of petrol pumped now = my fuel consumption

 

when i used shell 98 it was abt 35/l

[jtzx]

phantom fuel consumsion high anot??

 

is around 33km to max of 42km per Lit

 

depends on the age of piston also.. New bikes normally around close to 40km/L.

 

mine a Fv plate currently hit Fc of 35-36km/L petronas oil

you got it correct. Distance travel divided by Lit of petrol pump in..

 

check that you turn from "res" to " on" before you pump also..

 

in shell station, is there such rule? how come i not known after so many pumps.

[kmjoe]

yea there is, u can look at the signs near the pumps... i was told by a petrol guy b4 wen i sit on my bike n pump at queensway de shell den i realize too

[kmjoe]

its along with those sign of no hp, off engine etc etc

ohoh i see i see, cuse i buying. but dont know the fuel comsumion is high not. can ask you all 1.2k for a phantom left coe 2.5 year whether worth to ride not?? i think FU or FD plate.

[kmjoe]

no way its fd... fu 1.2k will be pretty good

[richard125]

no way its fd... fu 1.2k will be pretty good

 

i see thanks thanks.

Just pumped full tank with Caltex 92. Gonna try this for a week! Last FC was about 37.0km/l. Pretty decent in my books.

[Silent Hunter]

92 is ok, cheap and good.

Phantom spec says it can run on Ron 91. Too bad SG does have it. And Heck! It's so hard to find stations with 92 I don't pump in SG anymore!

[rylche]

I love 92 cos it's the cheapest Caltex has the 92s! I have 12% discount there due to SAFRA card so I always pump there. From yishun, the nearest is Caltex Sembawang along Upper Thomson Road, near Nee Soon Camp there.

[armani123sg]

i last time always pump 95... one day i tried v-power... omg, big diff, so quiet!... yet to try 92, maybe one day i'll try...

[ahcaibiker]

seriously i think, it's all in the mind. our tiny winy class 2b engines wont have much of a difference... v power is just throwing $$$ cheaply away. now i just pump 95 in sg and ron 95 in msia. used to always pump vpower for my TA150 in msia in the past. now i switch to petronas liao! petronas boleh!

maybe its really in mind but bro, one day u just try... after a full month of 95... u go pump a complete full tank in sg shell with vpower... c got diff onot... just testing testing... i just pumped vpower in msia yesterday, maybe its in my mind but i tell u, e feel is totally diff from sg vpower, damn lousy! msia 97 feels better than msia vpower, i dunno why haha!

of cos, i used to pump vpower when vpower is at shell 98 price. the difference? minimal...

[pureice68]

Is 92 or 95 enough? I always pump 98 only leh!

[kmjoe]

u sld try 95, i used to pump only 98 too, now use 95 ler... 98 u feel more pwr, 95 u feel smoother...
