I use tesco 99 in my fiesta, (mapped for 97) but only because it's cheap

Car SEEMS to drive better lower down on V power, but not sure if thats just my mind playing tricks.

fuzzy

when i picked up my 431bhp escort cossy engine from harvie gibb he said dont use tesco's 99 only bp ultimate or v power

JohnnyB

what ever fuel the thing was maped for. adding vpower will give you a safty margin as I bet most chips are mapped for pump fuel

Karl Norris advised both me and Andy not to use Tesco 99... stick to V Power, Ultimate or even Esso Super.

The tuner who looks after my Evo has also told me the same thing, but he emphasised very strongly not to use Tesco 99 under any circumstances.

to fukin right

dont spray it unless it goes on fire

imagine trying to clean it after mcrash had gone ballistic with a fire extinguisher

OldDan

Mine was mapped on a mix of 99 and 95 tesco fuel, so I shall use this!

ben_frst

i saw a post when tesco first released 99 and a company mapped the same engine 3 times for 3 fuels bp came out in front then shell (very close) then they tested the tesco fuel and it caused the car to det alot earlier so just for fun they ran some shell 95 unleaded and it out performed the tesco 99

there was good reason for it to something to do with the additives in the tesco kack

the out come was shell is what they recommended for value for money as bp charge alot more for a fuel that doesnt really give you any gain

AlexF

95% petrol 5% bio ethanol


Nothing wrong with tesco 99 either...

I ran my JDM Scooby on it for 10k miles. JDM needs 100ron!!

No signs of det what so ever on strip down!

What shit me up was you came straight in and opened the bonnet. Before i could shout NOOOOOOOO! you already had it open.

How did you go about sorting the rail so it wasnt doing an impression of a Crematorium?

Car was going very well on the Sunday.
