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

[jtzx]

(collecting shell points...)

 

never tried esso before... all I know is that caltex is the cheapest...

 

but no one seems to use caltex lehz.

[VidaK]

lol maybe since petrol is quite cheap now no one bothers to switch to caltex...

[chuan.z]

but no one seems to use caltex lehz.

[VidaK]

if you ride bike/drive car, get your safra card and get petrol discounts!

iszt?? so thats why so little riders go caltex...

[VidaK]

huh... if thats the case wouldn't more people flock to caltex to get the platinum instead? lol...

[chuan.z]

No la, "just" as in effective today (16 Mar) onwards.

[VidaK]

lol... too bad I'm a shell guy

 

phantom: I'm on a pure shell diet

[jtzx]

wooo.. meaning we should all go get 98 from caltex.

[VidaK]

but do try out the diff petrol... your phantom might prefer certain grade of octane... I know of many people complaining that v-power is just too beastly to their engines... LOL

oh will listen to last owner finrod. he say v-power is too much for ta200 ;-)

i normally go for esso 98 ( i think, the green handle ) as it's the nearest from home for me and usually runs ok but once in a blue moon would have the shhhh shhhh shhhh sound

 

there's a SPC near my work place and with that (also the most ex one) i would have power losses. after a couple of refills and purged the system with the (green handle) esso it was back to normal without power losses...

[VidaK]

I think in no time my hands with get itchy and start feeding my phantom with some octane boosters... lol would be interesting...

mothballs! haha

[VidaK]

lol mothballs...? f*** no...

 

I think I will try axe oil first (LOL)

[antartica]

my buddy used to be air force regular and he's tried jet fuel. something like 1 : 4 or 5 ratio with regular premium petrol and he says that it really made a diff!!!

[VidaK]

kerosene...? It is totally different oil from petrol... its like using petrol in a diesel engine lol...

 

maybe with kerosene the backfires are blue instead of orange ha

[antartica]

no not regular jet fuel kerosene... he used fighter jet fuel

[VidaK]

*pssst... fighter jets use the lowest possible grade of kerosene! I have friends in air force... lol they are saving on cents and dollars...

 

but maybe for real ops (warfare) then they will use higher octane fuel... lol

Hi guys,

 

with BROQUET...u would be able to increase your travel mileage using the same amount of petrol.

 

Tested and Proven!!

i am loving my 98ron thanks to Safra~

tried v-power, it's rather "roary" (on top of the already irritating engine)

while the vibrations on both sides doesn't make a huge difference.

the pick up on both petrol seems alike. maybe cos i'm nt an accelerator savy...

 

well, cruise for both is still at 80km/h, dildo mode after 90km/h;

and it seems like i managed to hit >35km/l this top-up.

So, a humble list of my results

 

98ron | v-Power

Smooth Cruising: 85km/h | 80km/h

Consumption: >35km | >33km

Pick-up: good | better

Vibration: shag | shag+

Noise: irritating | irritating+

Top Speed: heh heh, too scared to find out.

 

i do hear the "sssh ssssh" like some wave sound every now and den... nt sure what's actually wrong. =(
