I just tried a tank of that Shell 91 octane super crap on a trip and my engine went insane! I don't know what is in it, but my manually set up 258 would 'not' run over 65 mph except on a down hill, I even had to gear down on a couple long uphill runs, which is unheard of for my rig, even 3rd gear wouldn't pass 65 mph! (normally 3rd pulls fast up to at least 75 mph) I also lost about 30% for gas mileage. It made for a long trip home too. I finally got it low enough and put in Esso gas and magically my engine came back alive with it's normal tire chirp off a fast start and top end power restored.

Could be, but there are two gasses that use that cleaner and my 258 runs
like crap on both of them. Someone mentioned I might be running lean, so last carb kit I went a little richer on the high speed metering rods and then tried that Shell gas. No help, it still won't burn the crap. All I got was a slight bog if I stomp it too fast with real gas. At least the adjustment is up top so I only have to open one plate to get it back.

Since Bush Gas, I haven't been able to run Texaco, Chevron, or Shell regular in a 95 4.0 without mild ping. Recently the local Valero station ran out of midgrade, and it seems that their regular will actually run without ping. |

It was the additives I am sure. It has happened before. I was running hot, hard and fully loaded and in those circumstances, my owners manual calls for high test. My owners manuals both also forbid any alcohol mix of any kind unless you need a little to get to real gas. I also have a modified engine set up manually like a 1981 engine would be with no computer controls and the minimum pollution controls. It only happens with brands that have that super cleaner in them or too much alcohol, other high octanes like Esso work great.

After any jeep repair be sure to screw all parts back together with wing
bolts. (G) |
