Which kinda gas should I run in my 914?
should I use lead additives or just run premium in it? or just run regular (crosses fingers) This is really irrelevant, seeing as it's going to be a long time before she's on the road....but just thought I'd ask thanks! |

The higher the octane the slower the burn. The higher octane, the more additives the fuel has in it, which ends up on the top of your piston and on you cylinder head. The more carbon build up you get means it raises the compression and you get carbon hot spots on the piston or cylinder head which results in pre-ignition, so you run higher octane fuel and the endless cycle continues.
Always run the lowest octane you can without pre-ignition (pinging). |
