Okay I know this has probably been done to death but can I run my 1985 1.3 zook on ulp or PULP without adding lead additive? I know I can't run any ethanol which is a bummer because it's cheap here ($1.22)

yup u can. i think anything after late 70's in the zooks can run ulp or pulp. i usually run 98 octane or pulp in mine.

Well Nic your on the ball. We only have three servos in town so price beats selection but I agree my old 1ltr went heaps better on PULP and my 1.3................jury is still out.

I run E10 with good conscience, have done so for just over 8000k's and when i do my engine conversion i plan to document the engiens condition (from initial use at 192 thou till opening)
Rather than post up what i've said in other forums those who are interested read this

A lot of myths a spread concerning E10 and truth be told studies show that almost all E10 related 'failures' have been skapegoats by owners of poorly serviced vehicles or engines on the way out. The NSW goverment conducted test on it's fleet during the early 90's and did not find any technical faults
