Okay iv searched and seached through the site about fuel to use and things and i cant get optimax or super unleaded here at all without driving out somewhere silly so i HAVE to use unleaded on my K-Jet its been running fine so far but what things can i do just to make sure it runs okay? im alittl confussed on the matter 

[Uruk Hai]

I have an idea of what others will say on this matter but I ran my 16V K - Jet for years on normal unleaded and never had any problems as a result

Im running my 8v k-jet on normal unleaded with no problems...and is there really any point running a 21 year old car with fuel developed for new cars...lol..

[Malz0r]

well it seems to be okay so far (2-3 months) but im getting a small knocking noice may be tappets but wanted to be sure

K-jets will run fine on standard unleaded (95ron) but you might get some pinking under heavy load. Although this is fine in the short term, prolonged use may result in damage to the piston crowns/head & valves/piston rings etc.
If you must use 95ron fuel long term the spark timing should be retarded to compensate, a slight drop in performance will result from this though.

both my 16v (k-jet) and my 8v (digi) seem to run much better on super unleaded, defo worth the extra few pennies

[Malz0r]

Like i said i would use the better fuel but its just not available here and can someone explain pinking? what is it and how would i know its doing it?

[Neaty]

try and get some lead replacement additive from halfords or a petrol station

[Malz0r]

im guessing he bottle will tell me how much to use? how oftenly should i add it?

[Neaty]

yea usually the bottle will tell u how much. i think you put the whole lot in everytime you fill up a full tank
