marky4 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 just love the smell remember it from when i was a kid and my dad used to take me to silverstone
deltamal Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Had a look on the net, opinion seems to be not to use it as a sump oil as it gums things up, but an eggcup full in a full petrol tank now and again is ok....
w p e Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 R good as a race oil but as its a vegtable oil not mineral it take a while to warm up and work but once uswing it you have to stay with it as it sticks like s**t on the rings and dont like mixing with other oil types. yes a small amount in the fuel gives the same effect as its a 2 stroke lube realy
morcheen Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 i remember racing a bmw down to southend years ago,it stank of it i think i have read that with the new petrol it's supposed to be good to add a little oil to the fuel to stop the new additives eating away at the metal and rubbers.might have been posted on here?
gearbox100 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 My mate used to put a bit of brake fluid in the petrol of his mini cooper s rally car, smelt just like castrol r , that was until it put a hole in one of the pistons , the engine builder reconed he`d been putting too much in and dropped the octane rating too much. Turned out to be an expensive smell lol .
