er... i think you all missed the point.

News recently... dodgy fuel from supermarkets down south?

Shouldn't have a problem mate, not much electrical to go wrong on the 8v's, even the rallyes.

Alternatively, it could blow up.

Best of luck.

Yes but not for putting fuel in your rallye!  :laugh:
The petrol thing is supposedly down to silicone in the fuel which sticks to the lambda sensor and makes new cars turn into unrunnable coughing spluttering things! I ain't got a lambda sensor and I live oop North!
