Petrol

Hi all,

I have 2 x 20l plastic petrol containers and I,m not sure wether they are leaded or unleaded.

How does one tell the difference?

Regards Thommo

The leaded one will be heavier.

Thanks:D

It has been my experience that the leaded is red in colour and the unleaded is gray/blue. :)


Ben.

The leaded fuel is the one that comes from the pump that says "Lead Free Super"! :D :D :D

G'day,

What Ben said.... ignore the peanut gallery... :D

Thanks Ben and Cliff,

and to the peanuts for your insight;)

Regards Thommo

I've heard that they have a different taste, can anyone conform that?????? :D :eek:

I'm glad that I've graduated to a peanut.

I can tell you that premium unleaded burns more when you get it on your skin, particularly in your arm pit. :eek: :(


DAMHIK:D


Ben.

Dare I ask how you managed to get petrol on your armpit??? LOL

I was working on my car with my dad, we were testing the fuel presure (we have our own gauge).
The fuel presure gauge has snap together fittings, pulling back a sleeve on one part releases the other part.

It was a warm day and I was wearing a singlet top.

So, as I reached over the top of the motor for something, dad decided to tighen one of the connectors (at least I think thats what he was doing :o ) when his open ended spanner came in contact with the snap together fittings, releasing one of the pipes.

Premium unleaded squirted at 55 Psi straight into my arm pit. :o :D

Maybe he was de-lousing me? :D :D


Ben.


Ps. anyone ever tryed to change a fuel filter on a VR/VS model commodore? :eek:

2 x 20 litres of petrol = rich man these days.
