I've been running he new shell stuff for about 1300 miles since leaving Ireland on this trip and had no problems. I have noticed though that the oil reading has gone from 0.8l, 0.7l to 0.5l now. I have oil with me but I've never had to out oil in between services before, why now?

Kinda worried what it might be, will keep an eye on it of course.

I only ever use V-power in all my cars and as per this post:

The engine emissions light has come on. I'm waiting until I can get it to Gareth for a proper diagnosis.

Hopefully coincidence?

Will keep you posted .

Oh well. No V power nitro for me but you are ok on Road cars.

Something to do with the knocking sensors on race engines compare to road cars.

Didn't take it all in but it damaged two of his race cars with a bill of 5 K for one of them. So 97 for me with Octane booster.

Terry tried to have a word with Shell but not much chance.

Just supported a 3 hour race using Nitro, was fine.

Ok, do you know what could be happening with Terry's cars? Colin who races for Terry Motorsports as switched to other fuel with octane booster and no more problems ?

Thanks,

Eduardo.

Dunno, can only deal in facts and we ran for 3 hours without issue, not an s54 but a proper race engine in another brand of car, not seen any evidence that would put me off using it so far. If that changes will let you know.

Not running any knock sensors.

anyone found ( exhaust wise) that Nitro smells a bit more then the old v-power ( which itself smelt quite sweet )
