    You may have gotten the last bit of fuel from the storage tank [lots of $hit from the bottom of the storage tank]. Check the fuel pressure at the rail and change the fuel filter. Hopefully it has not screwed the injectors. Dave W

    I find that in my 20v bp ultimate and shell fuel feels faster than the Caltex / mobile fuels. I don't know about getting the fuel tested.

    also if the oil is slightly low or the coolant it drops power too

    My tuner told me to only use bp ultimate in my F6. i put shell vortex in it once on the way to the dyno and it pinged its head off. that was from a very popular servo thats always busy too.

    Fuel quality makes a huge difference to power output on a tuned car that's so much closer to the edge than a factory tune.


    I'd change the fuel filter as well. they aren't dear and we never change them as much as we should.

    I find Mobil to be shit, crap km's and runs sluggish. BP is hit and miss, Shell seems to be good but expensive and the best I find is United 98. They used to have 100 which was magical!
