Now that I have my 914, I have to seriously think about driving it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) It came with a 1/2 tank of gas (thanks Cap'n), and I will have to refill it eventually. It just occurred to me that around here we have mostly mixed gas - 10% methanol. Is that good, bad, or of no consequence? What grade of gas should I be buying for this thing. I being a cheap SOB usually buy whatever is cheapest, but for this one, I will buy what is best for it. So, what do you think? Is there any harm in running the 10% methanol/gas mix. Should I be looking for some stations that sell only 100% gasoline? What grade to buy? Is more expensive any better for the engine?
I did a search in the archives and didn't come up with much. I came across an old Pelican site that addresses the harmful effects of methanol on the rubber fittings, but the article may have been old. Is there any more current info out there? Thanks for the help. Warrenoliver |

91 Roz/Ron = 87 'murrican octane, so 'regular' should work fine. I run mine a bit more advanced, so usually get mid grade to avoid pinging.
