What fuel?
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:15:03 AM »
I have been getting confusing answers to what type of
petrol to use in 1978 TE Cortina. Should it be 98 or 91 octane? Have been told to add Upper Cylinder additive to each fill up. Thanks

for a standard 2 liter motor you should add some booster.
if the head has been modified for unleaded fuel/lpg then you are ok to use any type of fuel
