When I ran the race car I found the only fuel suitable was aviation fuel at 120 odd octane..Good stuff. But believe it or not for normal road use I found Tesco 99 the only fuel that worked for the engine and injection system. I did try others but had running issues with most. I had a good squirt of Baby oil with every tank full as well. I had the race car on the road here for about 9 years and no issues with the Tesco stuff. 1981 Triumph TR7 V8 DHC��work now started (dance) work now stopped(dizzy) work started again(woot) work stopped again (what) work started again (dizzy) work stopped again ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1971 Triumph 2000 Sport |

Used to use Tesco momentum in my tr6 ran ok on it , but got fed up of going to garage and they did not have any or pump not working -became a common occurrence. So switched to Shell v power - much better - low speed pick up seemed improved . Just back from CLM put about half a tank of French 98 in , did not seem to run so well , some hesitancy - but may have been something else - who knows . |
