randy Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I am using the walbro 255 litre high pressure pump which has started to make a loud whine all of a sudden any idea why? Does this mean pump is on its way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Toluene doesn't have the lubricating properties of petrol, it's ok up to about a 10% mix but after that it may cause problems. There isn't a need to go above a 10% mix anyway as it doesn't add any more octane to the mix. That's what I heard anyway -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Definately a blockage in the pump or filter will see..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 How old is your fuel filter? I guess the pump quality may be a little sus in some areas so it may need changing more frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Randy runs 30% as the fuel is crap in India. As long as you mix petrol, toly AND a lubricant which randy does you should be OK. Gaz.

I now also run 100 octane aviation gas but believe it or not feel no difference compared to my special toluene mix.... In fact Toluene makes my car extremely responsive... more that the ave gas.
