Could explain why the trims were out when I dropped it off the other week - and why the car was confused

User error could explain it all

hopefully it's your fault and not mine ;)

at the moment P100 is a waste of time in your car, you will get no benefit from it and use more of it for the same amount of driving

Definitely my fault - I put it in

Was either that or E10. Tipped it was the lesser of 2 evils

Nah, still the same $20 of P100 - wouldn't be surprised if the P100 had been sitting at the servo for a while too.

Testing would have been on the LPG though.

Probably 1/4 tank of P100/98 mix left now - put $20 of 98 in last week.. Will fill up with 98 and run it out on my 95 tune.

Am tipping/hoping the car will sort itself out once that tank's cleaned itself out.

If this ends up being the cause/issue I'm feeling almost as stupid as the time I filled my bike with diesel.

Thinking something catastrophic had happened I trailered it to the shop.

Pricks couldn't tell me over the phone what the real cause was - they were laughing so hard :P

(just to clarify how I could be so stupid -

early morning, usual servo - half asleep

usual pump was busy so went to the one next to it

was a normal trigger on the same bowser as 95 and 91, just a blue handle - none of the "rab proof" locks they have now)

They told me I'd never have to worry about top end lubrication :P

Put over 100k on the bike over the 3 years I had it with no issues so didn't cause any long term damage lol

Only other "fuel" problem I had with it was from Shell Vortex fouling the plugs a few times.

Ah - right you are.

Optimax is what I was thinking - what caused the fouling.

Think they replaced it with V-Power (thus the "V" word confusion)

Was in the late 90's - damn, feels like yesterday
