Shell v power in south shields , north east england has ethanol in it .
@@peterpipe9015 Thanks, yes it would have. Do you know what percentage by any chance?
@@boilerhousegarage hi I have been removing the ethanol so can run garden machinary , sick of having problems after winter storage . Ethanol level seems to be about 4 percent
@@peterpipe9015 It must be a right pain when you can't buy any locally with no ethanol. Thanks.
@@boilerhousegarage yeah m8 I can get aspen locally but the price is ridiculous
Getting tbat hose to stay in is a real PIA 😂
Lots of editing here.
Correct! The car chases are edited to just see the chase specifically, not any in-car acting and such.
Oh Betty !
I went to one but It had like 10 cars lol I went to one about a year ago it was really good like this I forgot where it was I want to go to one soon this year again I Love old cars can you make a video on the 1960 cadillac sixty special its my fav anyways see ya I would of been on but I was hacked dident get my pc fixed dead for like 10 months...
Some shows are disappointing; even this one is stupidly open at 5pm in the week, so most people are just leaving work, then if you get there late, people start to leave by 7pm. And sometimes a fat man pushes in front of you at the bar!
When I got to mine it was late like the same time and most people where leaving as well
This, the cable car scene, and the hydrofoil fight at the end are legitimately great action scenes. Practical effects and amazing stuntwork! I lioved this film as a kid.
6% ethanol increases your fuel consumption by about 1.7% compared to no ethanol. So the only reason for VPower to get such better mpg assuming absolutely identical driving is if either the engine is set for high octane fuel and it has to retard ignition timing for 95 Ron. Or it can actually advance the ignition timing with the high octane fuel. The difference here is impossible to be the Ethanol alone.
@@TheDude50447 Nope, that's not true at all. Ethanol has less than half the calorific value of petrol, so logically, 6% will increase fuel consumption by at least 3% (and usually more due to several other factors), else where does the energy come from with such a deficit? Further real-world tests I've conducted on blends up to 85% ethanol, concluded with ethanol only providing a third of the mileage achievable from petrol with zero ethanol. In general terms, E6 will increase fuel consumption by around 9%, which is consistent with the results I show at the end of this playlist using 0%, 5%, 6% and 7%. When governments and fuel companies advertise the ethanol will only make a small difference, they're lying-which shouldn't be surprising.
@@boilerhousegarage Ive watched several videos on that and youre the only one with those numbers. Every other channel like "Engineering explained" or just websites on the topic say that Ethanol got 67% of the energy content of regular petrol. Being interested in the topic myself and E10 fuel being available since 2011 here in germany Ive driven hundreds of thousands of kilometres with tanks full of E5 and E10 which have both been available side by side. The difference is so minimal that neither the board computer nor me at the pump can actually make out any difference that isnt within margin of error due to traffic jams and so on. Same goes for similiar tests Ive seen on german channels like asphalt art which do hypermiling and long range fuel economy testing. In their tests the Aral Ultimate 102 fuel actually achieved worse mileage over their long range testing in cases compared to regular E5 in cases. Ive used Aral Ultimate myself a few times and also havent noticed any difference. Im absolutely certain that there is something else going on there. A quick google search on the Fiesta ST says that the engine is actually setup for 98 Ron or premium/Super plus fuel. Its highly likely that your engine retards the ignition timing for Ron 95 E10 leading to significantly worse thermal efficiency than what it is setup for. Im pretty much certain about that.
@@TheDude50447 The difference is minimal because E5 and E10 is just a label to mean "up to." It doesn't necessarily mean the fuel is 5 or 10% respectively. Again, the difference in minimal on my tests also between E5 and E10 as they're 5-7% and I'm sure even 10% will not be massively different. Yes, the octane potential in the ethanol free may have made the ST more efficient. I should perhaps do a mileage test on 99 Octane E2.5 to confirm the timing is making significant difference in efficiency, but my other tests have been on a flex fuel car, getting 11mpg on E85 85%, 30mpg on "E10" 5% and 35mpg on "E5" 0%. I don't care what skinny, EV wanker Engineering Explained has to say, petrol has 10200kcal/gram and bioethanol had 5000kcal/gram (10.29303/jppipa.v9i9.4716) I do not commit the begging-the-question fallacy by accepting data from biased sources as fact. Ethanol has less than half the energy of petrol, claims to the contrary are a lie.
@@boilerhousegarage Maybe you could link me the source to your claims on ethanol? Anyway you cant test Ron 95 fuel in a Ron 98 engine. Like I said having used E10, E5 and ethanol free fuel since E10 was introduced in 2011 I havent noticed anything near the numbers you got in 3 different cars. All those cars obviously setup for 95 Ron.
@@TheDude50447 I put the DOI number above "10.29303/jppipa.v9i9.4716" .. and yes, sorry if I wasn't clear, but from your suggestion, I will look to test a "2-2.5% ethanol, 99 octane petrol" I have available near me, to see the difference the Fiesta ST 98RON setup makes. This would be interesting as all of the ethanol mileage tests I've done with the ST are with 95RON.
Esso supreme worst petrol compare to Costco premium, my local garage mixing with something and no company control as run by India so no control
It's interesting how different regions get different amount of ethanol. Another KZreadr tested Momentum and it returned 2.5% of ethanol in Momentum.
@@ravenheart369 Yes, it's because of where the refineries are and how the fuel is transported. I never knew we had pipelines across the South and up to the Midlands! It's very hard to find ethanol-free up North and in Devon and Cornwall unfortunately.
Thanks man.
That old Porsche can still give that fast explorer a run for its money.
He was intentionally letting the Explorer keep up, so he could lead him into an ambush.
@@boilerhousegarage you think so? That’s an old 911, they aren’t too fast compared to modern fuel injected cars.
@@victorsandoval4792 That'd be true of the older 911s, but this one is a 1985 Carrera. It has a fuel injected 3.2 litre which is 230bhp, and does 152mph and 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. The Explorer is 300bhp, not sure on the performance specs, but power-to-weight is lower.
@@boilerhousegarage what trim is this? 3.2L sounds right but I’m thinking the HP is more like 207. With 0-60 in 6.6- 7 seconds. This looks like a 964 or a G-body.
@@victorsandoval4792 It's a G body. The 964 is the next generation 911 from 1989. I'm going by the European specs, so you may well be correct as it's a US car, many cars in general needed to be detuned to meet stricter/different emissions standards--although given it was using K or L-jetronic Bosch fuel injection, I'd have thought they'd not be any different.

Nice! Are you going to this year's one on Thursday?
@@boilerhousegarage yes what time does it start
@@MrJoshuas5678 It was 5pm last year.. A bit silly as most people won't be back from work and it'll cause a bit of traffic for people trying to get through the rush hour.
How about esso in the Greater Manchester area e.g. Manchester Rusholme Esso Express and ESSO EG ALTRINCHAM
You're welcome to send in a sample.
@@boilerhousegarage I will be honest, I have tried other brands that do 99 and they tend not to be consistent and atm I am using Tesco momentum 99 but only from one station because I feel for me personally it’s the most consistent only from the station closest to me.
At least you're honest. Tesco Momentum is an excellent petrol, but I'm not sure if the Super Unleadeds in Manchester are ethanol-free yet, however it's still beneficial to use the higher quality ones over the cheaper 95 and 97 RON.
@@boilerhousegarage Even am not sure if it’s ethanol free. Furthermore I tend to use 99 on my ford focus 1.0 eco boost.
THE SUBTITLES GOT UPDATED AM I THE FIRST ONE TO NOTICE?
Good to hear Esso is back to where it should be. Wouldn't be surprised if they did get to know your video and sorted it out!
@@ds1868 Cheers! That would be awesome if they did. I've found my channel mentioned on a few forums now, but would really like to know for certain what the issue was.
Hello mate new sub, although I agree the NHS is an expensive ( can't think of the correct word) mess. A few months ago my mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer within 2 weeks she was operated on and home. I can't thank them enough.
Thanks for the sub and comment.. Fantastic! I hope she has made a full recovery and has the all-clear. Yes, the NHS gets it right half the time, but needs to be over 99% of the time given the literal life-and-death nature of healthcare. Many people find themselves in a postcode lottery of whether they get urgent treatment or not.
Good news your area is 101 octane. Perhaps the earlier problems with octane were due to production/distribution issues? Either way further tests will be interesting!
Thanks Reggie! It's a shame I couldn't have gotten samples from further afield at the same time as the earlier tests, as I'd like to have known how widespread the issue was. In any case, it's good that it's not reading low anymore as to not cause anyone problems.
Less energy dense so of course it gives less mpg, also cheaper to produce so more profit to be made
I wonder if the sunstreaker decal designers were fans of the film Condorman.
@boilerhousegarage, How about possibly uploading some of the good car chase scenes from none other than the good old classic 1979-81 NBC adventure comedy series of “BJ & THE BEAR”?????!!!!!
Tip for anyone watching this -when you tighten the tensioner you need to hold the tensioner still with a hex key, known issue on these being overtightened as the tensioner moves when tightening the bolt, causing bearing or belt failure, dayco / gates etc have field bulletins on this. Even only a couple or so degrees movement (hardly anything) raises the load on the belt exponentially, from around 20kg to over 60kg
Correct. This is why I mention it at 22:45 and show the allen key in place (although it's hard to see) along with the ratchet. Unfortunately I couldn't hold the allen key, tighten the tensioner bolt and film with my phone all at the same time. Once it's tightened down hard by hand, you can torque it up without much risk of it moving, unless of course you made a feeble effort of tightening by hand, in which case you also won't be able to hold the allen key "in place" either.
Such a good tip it was already said twice in this video!
I love Jack, reminds me of Jett when he's not coked out
Love the film😅
Just tried Esso Synergy Supreme 99 for the first time in my Golf 1.5 TSI. MPG jumped from 30 to 48 mpg on an hour of mixed use driving and the miles until next refill jumped from 345 to 380. Only done one drive so let’s see it that all holds up. As it stands, super unleaded is more expensive on the tin BUT cheaper when you run a full tank and do the maths. Let’s see what happen 😊
Awesome! Is yours the 130 or 150bhp version and what part of the country are you in please? My mate's got one which he had remapped just to tune out the lumpiness when it's in "eco" mode. He said it's not only getting better mpg but (his was a 130) is about 140bhp too.
Whats the lady being pakistani got to do with anything? Chav
Hi Chav. It's a description of her appearance, since I'm complaining about a rude staff member and don't know what her name was. If she was green with purple hair and two antennae sticking out of her head, I'd have said "the alien lady." Stop race baiting.
Wish I watched this first ....I've just had the same problem with wrong filter on my 2018 cooper sd
A lot of motor factors send me two oil filters out nowadays. Loads of engines where you can't easily tell which filter it has without actually taking the old one out.. I've actually got a few videos done on a Mini Countryman Cooper SD, I'm going to be uploading them all together on a Modern Mini Month series, so watch this space. Thanks.

When are we getting the video about the 'Effectively' Cancelled video being wrong? We know Intel is releasing another version of Arc now.
As in the Battlemage graphics card/processor?
@@boilerhousegarage yep. Intel announced it.
am i the only one, but i thing you're mistaken in the engine code. the isuzu engine is used in opel's and chevrolet's and is a 1.7 CDTI not CTDI. this is a proper honda engine ! also its derived from the 2.2l i-CTDI engine from the following civic generation and accord.
No, I was only mistaken on referring to the "badge" on them as CDTi, when it's a CTDi on all Hondas including this Civic and the later models, which is where I've probably confused you. The engine itself is referred to as the 4EE2. Bar a few plastic ancilleries, this is an identical engine to the Vauxhall Opel 1.7 diesels of the same era and is 100% of Isuzu design and parts are stamped with Isuzu, service and replacement part all cross-reference part numbers and pictures of engines compare. If you check out the cambelt video I done on it, it's also marked Isuzu. It's an excellent engine, but noisy, old fashioned and definitely not a Honda, who released theirs in around 2005/6.
Thanks mate 👌🏻👍🏻
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
Plz reply
I want to buy it how i can buy this oktis 2
They're on eBay from Belarus. A lot cheaper than I paid too, about £150-£180 ($200-£230 USD). Mine was close to £300, from same seller. It took weeks to arrive because of another fake war and anti-British EU, but you may get it quicker depending on your location.
my lexus ls430 doesnt like e10 so much, i was filling with e10 for 2 months after i got it since i noticed no drop in performance (previous owner filled only with e10) one day I decided to try some e5 and my god, the responsiveness was so much better, better mpg too.
Remember though, "E10" is actually E5-E7 really and most "E5" is ethanol free or around 2% in some areas. It's certainly worth trying a couple of tanks of various brands to see what suits your car, and you may even find the expensive stuff gives you better mpg.
I occasionally get a judder moment of limp like it’s running out off fuel… would you you advise I change the fuel filter? It only got changed 5k ago? Thanks if you reply
Never mind that, where's this ganja at? 😄 I'd be first looking for water ingress which you can find in the fuel filter housing (water will go to the bottom with diesel sat on top) so you'll be looking in that area anyway to see if something is clogging the filter or any part of the system. Do you run the tank low much, or notice it happen less if on a full tank or more if you're coming off a roundabout? It could be a loss of fuel pressure if the pump is on its way out, but should really outlive the van unless its done exceptional mileage. A couple of tanks of Shell V-Power diesel and an additive called dipetane wouldn't go amiss if perhaps the fuel system is clogged somewhere else.
@@boilerhousegarage I was under quarter tank when it was happening and just filled up and it’s not happening now so you think pump or water in filter? Thanks mate
@@cannabisfarmoutdooruk4729 It won't be the filter/housing in that case. It could be your pump, or at least it could get damaged if you run the tank too low. Chances are your fuel tank is contaminated with water, sludge or I've even seen petrol (where someone has mis-fuelled in the past) as it will sit on the bottom of a diesel tank. All diesels and fuel injection tanks are pressurised or use a swirl pot, so keeping the tank as full as possible will mean you're effectively diluting the contaminant, so try not to let it fall below a 1/3 tank. You can get it drained and cleaned out, but as it's a messy job and the fuel will be classed as hazardous waste, it won't be cheap. There's no fuel drain on these tanks and you can't syphon it (I've attempted both) so won't be a home job unfortunately. As long as you keep the tank topped up full, you can still use it; it's just annoying to keep having to fill up every 200 miles or so.
@@boilerhousegarage nice1 thanks for you help 🫡
If i were to use this to measure gasoline with a small amount of ethinol, even though my readings may not be accurate, i should be able to tell if one gas is better than another, correct?
With just the gas "as is" then sadly not, as even 2% ethanol will just give the maximum (false) reading. However as I've done in the past, you can extract the ethanol from both fuel samples, then test it to see which of the two might have better octane boosting additives made from a petroleum distillate, such as Shell V-Power, which contains considerably more than even top rival brands.
So I live in USA. I extracted 8% ethanol from 94 octane, and the meter read 82 ot 2 different samples from two different sunoco stations. 12 octane seems to be a lot for 8% ethanol. Also, I tested c16 race gas, which should be 116 octane, but the meter reads 84. Any thoughts?
Very good experience and explained
Thanks, Jamal!
Got a bit wet playing with the tranny then mate 😂 still keeping busy I see. Need a catch up soon 👍🏻
No videos on the st for 6 months did you sorn it for some time or get bored of doing bits and videos on it?
Neither mate; I've done a few jobs on it and recorded them, but haven't had time to script and edit the videos. I also have to prioritise ones that can get potentially more views and subs, as the ST stuff doesn't do very well in the analytics. Oddly the last time I did a vid servicing some old van, it became one of my top 5 for engagement! 😆

Uhh, hey baby! 🥰
Very good video.
Thanks very much! ☺
I hope sometime ypu get to test some Texaco 99 as its always over looked there aren't so many Texaco around and not sell 99.
Yes, I hope so too. Had KZread allowed me to accept memberships and/or adsense, I'd be travelling a bit further afield purely to get a diverse number of samples. I did check at my nearest Texaco recently and they're still only supplying their kaccy 97RON.
Recently changed on my Civic. The garage used an INA set. Now, I hear a whinning noise. :( Maybe it's over -tightened. Some guys from forums say thats the feature of INA. :(
Unlikely to be overtightened making the noise. The torque is quite high anyway, plus it shouldn't affect the rotation. The tensioner is supposedly self adjusting, but Honda recommended doing the backwards and forwards movement before securing. Maybe they missed this step? Although I think that is more to seat the belt in more evenly.
See my comment on this video. Likely overtightened, a common mistake even in garages
