    Cant see they would bin 400 litres of fuel if it was useable, unless of course its not strictly kosher.

    Its only 100 RON so you probably wouldn't notice any difference, especially if you dont have a ninja tuned turbo.

    It will release no more power unless detonation is an issue - on N/A cars this wont be the case as none of you have tuned the knackers off one.

    For the turbo boys it may help if you wind the boost right up, but without some method to adjust the fuelling its not really anything more than a safety net.

    I wouldn't use it in my engine unless it came in a sealed drum with a use by date on. Once opened it will go off.......quickly

    Aha!

    I've worked it out! Dave's new strategy is to be the fastest by telling the competition that their planned power upgrades won't make any difference!!

    Not at all, but it would be a bit like putting the contents of the VX tank in your car based on the fact it was 100 octane Jap fuel.......would you do it?

    Smile

    If its only 100RON then what gains are to be had? other than preventing pre-detonation?

    I think it'll be good stuff for sure, if like dave says it has'nt gone off.

    Fuel aging is a definate problem......... I left fuel in my motorbike for about 2 years and when I started it a couple months back the octane must have dropped had dropped coz the thing was spluttering and backfiring like mad at over 4000rpm. until I put fresh fuel into it...

    But give it a go.... you can always drain it if bad things start to happen..

    Well, we'll start with your suggestion of marinading him in two stroke for an hour or two. That'll make his skin burn and itch most uncomfortably. Which is great, because whilst it will cause discomfort, it's not instantly lethal.

    Then, onto the next part of 'Torture the ignorant VR-4 Fool' and my suggestion, which is to take the components of a V6-24 engine and show Bern just how tough they are by throwing them one by one at him. Obviously not the block and heads as they could cause a fatal injury. and we don't want that too early!

    Next suggestion please!!

    No point damaging good parts senselessly!

    I seem to recall him showing off some gloves the other week whilst others were fitting his brakes, perhaps we could........

    Nah, they would be fine - Bern is a lot softer than the parts. His body will absorb the impact shock most effectively!

    I like the Idea of death by 1000 2CVs, but are there that many left?


    There's more to this murder lark than one thinks at first!!

    I'm not sure where everyones getting 100RON from though, its Shell V-Power but not the stuff you get at the pumps, its V-Power Race fuel from the look of things rather than the road fuel...
