bp ultimate diesel

[nitroman]

tried bp ultimate diesel several times now from empty and i have to say i have noticed a real difference in both the improved smoothness of the engine under load, the engine is less noisey and there is a definate improvement in acceleration.
i have tried various ultimate fuels in various cars/bikes over the years and not really noticed much difference but on my chipped tranny it genuinely does make a real difference but its expensive!!

do you get more miles to the tank with it

well i agree yes the van runs smoother but when i tried it it had the fuel consumption of a v12 so no way will i ever use that again

[nitroman]

difficult to tell as i have run the van harder than usual as its so silky so i cant really tell but my feeling is that it is slighty better

I have used the Shell Optimax a few times and the van loves it and because of that so does my right foot , but at the price that stuffs at it only goes in the tank every now and then

I use a high octane fuel in my Smart car and she loves it! When i first started to use it i couldnt really feel any difference at all. But i notice a massive difference if i fill up with regular fuel ......so i dont bother just use high octane £18 fills the tank to the brim And it keeps the engine temp down a bit.

18 quid to fill the tank up, what a dream

Thats how much my Sierra costs to fill and its higher octane than the Shell stuff

The price varies on the type of kit you have fitted, a basic 'carb' type kit, I would say, about £1000-£1500. A gas injection kit £1500+

The 'carb' type kit can be fitted to any engine, its called that because it works the same as a carb does. My 24v Sierra uses a 'carb' kit, works great, it can still do 130+mph on gas! (Private roads, of course)

I'm also fitting a 'carb' kit to my essex powered 'bus, will have pics very soon

Cheers for the info mate, its alot of money to front, wish i could afford it as it would pay for itself in time
