Don't put Petrol in the bike.... Only way to be safe
![]() I got sent this link this morning as an email, possibly might splash out on the expensive stuff next tank if there's this much rubbish floating about. As TSM says at least most bikes are too simple to cook an expensive lambda sensor ![]()

Interesting this...
Last weekend I filled up my ZX7R with fuel at a Total I never normally use near Durham, and it ran like a proper bag of crap, like it was running on three cylinders at low speeds, felt down on power, spluttering and popping. Didn't get the same MPG as usual either. Filled it up at the weekend at my normal Shell garage and it's been fine ever since. Strange one. |

Question I don't know much about "Lambda" sensors, but when I was fixing engines, the injectors only injected fuel (just petrol or diesel), the air came in through the inlet valve(s). So how does this sensor work, it needs to measure fuel, air (quality & flow), engine speed etc... So surely it must be more than a single sensor, or as usual, am I talkin' round things again ?? . |

Morning all.
I've been banging on for years about the quality of the cheapo petrol that you get from Supermarkets, & retailers such as Jet etc. My advice has always been stick to petrol from people who actually drill the oil out of the ground. My own preference has always been for Esso, but Shell, Total, BP, or Texaco are usually pretty good. Although when I was in West London every now & again bikes would come in with a Diesel mix in the tank. On every occaison the customer had just filled up at a BP station. This was I suspect due to filling errors at the depot. Tankers were leaving with Diesel instead of unleaded in their tanks. In many instances the customer got a refund, not only for the fuel, but for most of the other charges that occured as a consequence. Like recovery & labour etc. So, get a reciept every time you fill up, because you never know. The most expensive one I ever did came to over £300! That was a brand new 2000 Fireblade and the spark plugs came to £100, for at the time you could only get them from Honda. Cheers. Last edited by Spanner Man; 02-03-07 at 07:49 AM.

Hopefully it won't affect our Lambada sensors- so we can still stay away from ****e euro-hickvillageinspired dance songs.

That's the Forbidden Dance!
With my cynical hat on, I predict that contaminated fuel is going to get the blame for everything from worn wheel bearings to leaky sunroofs for the next 6 months ![]()
