Which fuel to use?

[dalkill]

my 2.2 is a 1990 model.
According to NAAMSA website, the 4y is recommended to use LRP
It can use ULP, but with valve seat additive. Which additive to use?

But since this is a new engine , does the same rule still apply?

Sorry for interrupting Dalkill, I can't help you there, I have a similar problem, while on the subject, what is the difference between 50 ppm & 500 ppm diesel, and what is best to use.

Dalkill, I only use LRP in my 2.2. It was built to take it so that's what it will get. I dont know much about the additive for ULP but as far as I know you have to ad a bottle of additive for every full tank and that just adds extra cost to the existing sky rocketing price of uel.

Bushwacker, the difference between the two diesels is the sulphur content but I dont know which one is best to use. The 50ppm having the least.

Piet, best diesel to use is 50 ppm.

Thanx peepuls

LRP is ULP with the correct valve seat additive

while on the subject, what is the difference between 50 ppm & 500 ppm diesel, and what is best to use.

It's all about the sulphur content, 50 or 500 parts per million... 50 is better and the best one to use is BP Ultimate Diesel 50

I have already filled up with ULP as it arrived here in CT running on fumes.
Can it do any harm to drive it with ULP until it is time to fill up again

No harm will come of 1 tank of ULP without additive. IMHO :D

Any engine that has valve stem seals that was installed since 1998 onwards is compatible with ULP, so sleep well and continue using ULP as it burns cleaner too.

Die official website sê Toyota's voor 1998 moet LRP gebruik of ULP met 'n additive. Dis die official responce. EK onthou terug in omtrent 1992-1993 toe ek 'n poskantoor appy was het ons al die ou Corrola panelvans en Hi-Ace bussies workshops toe moes vat om hulle timing te verander om op die destydse 91 ULP te loop. Nie een van hulle se valve stem seëls het premature gegroet nie.

My buurman reken die oor die algemeen dat karre wie se valve stem seëls nie goed genoeg is nie is engines wat ouer as omtrent 1986-87 se kant is.
Toyota SA natuurlik is altyd over cautious dis hoekom al ons engines hier se sepcs altyd 100 jaar agter was van Toyota International. Hulle het bv al 22R vervang met 22RE an 22RTE in omtrent 1982 se kant. Ons het nooit eens daai mouters hier gesien nie. Selfsde met die 4Y electroniese dizzies. Ek dink dis seker eers toe die goed saam met die jap engine importes hier geland het het Toy SA wakker geskrik en besef dat electronic ignitions in bakkies is nie iets uit die bose nie.

Ek kon nie onthou nie jou Honda is dit 'n prelude? Al die preludes op NAAMSA se site recommend ULP en Ballades van 1300 van 82-89 is LRP die groter engines is ULP vanaf 1984 al.

So jy kan ook maar rustig slaap.
