FLASH LUBE ???

Post by muddyperils »

If you are refering to the additive for making your LEADED engine run on UNLEADED, I have run it for over a year now, in 2 Vehicles, a 2.8 MK with reco motor , and a VH bommodore with flogged motor and ONLY RUN premium unleaded, cause the OCTANE rating is only 1 percent difference, I would not run my lawnmower on the other crap!!!!! and as far as fuel consumtion goes, their is not a great deal difference between the two, it is all under the control of the right BOOT. The only down side that i really hate from runnin UNLEADED is I used to check my exhaust after a long trip and if it was a meadium grey/white i was close but now i'm afraid it runs black as a BFG.... :multi:

I run a "flashlube" system on my 350 chevy powered Patrol.... only reason for this is for uppercylinder lubricant, it runs on LPG 99% of the time !

On my old 1tonner which also had a 350 fitted I never ran a flashlube system at all in the 10 years I owned it and it ran sole LPG..... perhaps the heads may be stuffed by now but then I dont own it any more !!!
