optimax, is like super unleaded, so with octane booster, it would be like super super unleaded, if you get my drift

Cant pay vat on something twice.

If you buy, say an alternator from a vehicle dismantler you WILL be paying VAT on it, again.

Most scrappies let you roam around and help yourself, I'm sure we've all had 'the VAT back' on those pocket sized items ;)

except for the fact that a. most octane boosters dont work and b. optimax is not very good to begin with

exactly, i wonder how octance booster can mix evenly withoin the tank creating constant results and not just lying at the top/bottom creatign very varied results

fuel for though eh

wrong

OPTIMAX is Super Unleaded with an Additive.

Post Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:03 am

additives yes, octane booster no, otherwise the octane rating (RON number) would be over 97 and into the 100's nearlt, wich is excessivley high.

Post Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:04 am

Is there not a difference in RON between SUL and Optimax ???

Post Sun Apr 17, 2005 12:06 am

don't think so mate, not 100% sure but i think there both 97RON

I think legally he owns the entire vehicle including the contents (which i presume includes fuel) plus the vat + excise has already been paid on the fuel anyway at original purchase, so if there is vat it something in the course of business of the guy, so doubt if its illegal unless he is not vat registered(IMO)

is a difference of 1.7 points between optimax & super.

well ur a mine of useless and incorrect information.

as a suggestion why dont u read this thread again from the beggining, theres some information in here about Optimax that u might want to read.
For starters its NOT based on SUL and its octane rating aka RON number is not stable and whilst it CAN be up to 1.8 points higher than SUL this is NOT guaranteed.

tell me does anyone know why some ppl dont read the entire thread before posting

Just confirmed with my father... When he is doing runs of optimax, they load Super and an aditive.

no they dont.

As i have previously stated Opticrap is actually regular unleaded 95 ron petrol with added additives

it is NOT based on SUL

this is backed up by the fact that it uses the same BS number (british standards) as regular unleaded and not the SUL one. The reason for this is because over time it degrades back towards its 95 ron basis.

this information isnt exaclty a secret, its been known now for several yrs.
all the major uk forums know it.
scoobynet, passionford, gtr.co.uk, migweb and oh yeah the shell optimax forum

well im sorry but id posted earlier what optimax is, and this guy comes on doesnt bother to read the post and makes an innacurate statement.

whats the point in researching something and posting it up if someone else doesnt bother to read what other ppl have said and then goes on to make a definitive statement in the thread thats actually totally incorrect ?

Post Sun Apr 17, 2005 6:31 pm

sure dude, just making an innocent observation. everyone needs to chill out and

Back on topic:

I don't know if this is still true but back when I was invlolved with Formula V single seater racing we found that Esso had the most consistent octane rating, while shell would have differing ratings.

independant ppl ive spoken to in the industry all seem to rate esso the most highly with BP just behind.
