What Fuel Do You Use For Your Vehicle?

[S14]

guys do you know which fuel station still has the normal unleaded fuel? dont want to use ethanol base as this is harmful and not suitable for old cars? i have seen most petrol station now only has ethanol while the xcs/blaze is ethanol free?

 

 

hope the big 3 company would not phase out the regular unleaded fuel as not evryone can afford new vehicles

E-10 is mandated by law, almost all the gas stations particular the big 3 in metro manila are already complied with it, even the high end product such "blaze and velocity". You still can find some small independent gas stations still tender unleaded/premium gasoline without ethanol blend, but their days are number.haha

 

But don't worry E-10 is not harmful and work perfectly with old car using carb. Try it, it's cheaper for the meantime, but from what I know it's production cost is much higher than pure petroleum gas.

 

The downside of E-10, is due to it's ethanol base, it can easily mixed up with water without you knowing it... so better have it on a reliable gas station (prefer the big 3) because most of their stations in metro are already equipped for this purposes.

phidze: m using kasi japan surplus motor on an old car and based on manufacturer spec these are not suitable to E10 fuel and before have try using it destroy my fuel pumps as well as hard starting

S14: what engine you are using right now? if it is a Japan surplus probably it around 80's and up... all fuel injected engine can adopt to E-10 perfectly even on motorcyles and banca engines ( but DENR had a ruling E-10 cannot be use in banca due to precaution it may spill over and mix up with water). Japan is using Ethanol blend since late 80's, even in Thailand they are now using E-20, or 20% ethanol blend right now. So, there is no probable cause of E-10 destroying your fuel pump or hard starting.

 

If you still doubt about E-10, here is my advise, fill your car with regular unleaded say 15 liters then fill it up again with 5 liters of E-10, they can mix up one way or another. then do the adjustment from then on depend on what you feel is right. Good luck:D

its a honda motor 90's but can be view at some manufacturer site that is it not recommended. i have already suffer broken fuel pumps after continous usage for 2 months before on seaoil ethanol based fuel. i rather pay the extra for the regular unleaded than use ethanol fuel

S14: If it's a Honda 90's Japan surplus engine, definitely it can adopt quite well on E-10, Like I said Japan is Ethanol blend compliant since late 80's, how come an engine from 90's that are made not compatible with it? I think better switch to Big 3 particular Shell, because they are the pioneer of this fuel here... maybe the E-10 you been filling up had already adulterated with water due to moisture accumulated in underground tank,which cause corrosion on your fuel pump.

 

Here's the Tip. Fill up your E-10 on the newest Big 3 gasoline station ( kung pwede kabubukas lang.haha ) why? because their underground tanks is already PPC class unlike the conventional one using steel/metal tank which can accumulated moisture on it.(nagpapawis) and they have proper filter to contain it.

 

E-10 is mandated by law, even you like it or not, we have to embrace it. So probably next year, non ethanol base gasoline product will be phase out in metro, eh kahit may pera ka, you simple cannot avail it anymore

 

Remember the first time unleaded gasoline introduced here in Philippines, many motorist are against it saying the same thing "not compatible with their cars", but little did they know, few months before its launching, eh it's already implemented by the oil companies.haha

[iceman0382]

shell v power maganda ang performance ng makina.. maganda ang sunog nya

[phidze]

caltex silver....

 

I was always filling up at Shell stations. But I hate it when people from Shell always requires me to turn off the engine before they can fill up my car with gas :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

as far as I know, turning off the engine immediately after a long drive causes the engine to wear and tear earlier. It must be be in idle for 1-2 minutes before it can be "safely" turned off.

 

 

Kaya ayun... boycott ko Shell forever :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Bro, turning off your engine before filling is for safety purposes, particular for a gasoline engine. It's better safe than sorry :goatee:

 

turning off engine suddenly from a long drive will not cause damage to your engine, Unless it's a turbo charge, but most turbo charge engine now a day is equipped with a delay timer, so even if you turn off the engine, it actually idle for a minute before it total seize. mas safety net.

using shell or petron but now they implemented their ethanol into there unleaded fuel will just switch to caltex silver without ethanol

[arrancar]
