yesterday I filled up the Ghia with Plus95 with ethanol from a United Servo.
1/2 way into the tank. today i start having the following issues: -Pinging at all revs above 2000rpm -Loss of power -Could not rev or overtake safely because the car was shuddering. -Bad fuel econ So i checked the spark plug connections, air intake, tb, fuel lines /filter pump. All seem ok.... By this stage it was down to less than a 1/4 of a tank. I filled up with Optimax 98. Fixed the problem. I dont know if there is anything I can do but I will be sending a letter with a copy of the reciept attached complaining to the servo. !! Anyone else had issues with United Fuel. I will stay away now. |

Jimmy, it would help if you added a bit more information to your post and to your profile. Australia is a bloody big place so what part of it are you in? And where was the fuel purchased?

not actually a problem with the fuel, ran a few tanks through my old car and it actually ran pretty good but...
when i was dead empty i could usually get 70 to 72 litres into the tank at my regular servo but for some reason i got about 75-76 at my local united. even if the fuel is cheaper per litre it doesn't matter much if their pumps are running fast. |
