SanookTeufel Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Does anyone know if Thailand has certain brands of gasohol which have more detergent than others? In the U.S. brands like Exxon or Shell have "top-tier" gasoline with extra detergent to remove carbon build up. I think Esson has something like this in Thailand, but does anyone know the best stations to go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean Esso garages and all main Thai garages have a range of fuels to suit vehicle makes engine design. PTT, Bangchak, Esso, Shell, Chevron petrol stations all claim to have fuels with additives already for modern day engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I use only 'benzine' in my car. Yes, most expensive but no trouble with fuel line gunk when sitting for a month, as it often does. My experience with alcohol in fuel is not positive as the fuel lines get gunked up and i then need a mechanic to flush them out. Very costly.

So your using straight (no ethanol) benzine or is it available with lead for anti-knock protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So your using straight (no ethanol) benzine or is it available with lead for anti-knock protection? Lead was used to protect valves and valve seats not as an anti-knock....the RON or octane rating 91, 95 etc tells you if its suitable for your engine....too low octane can result in pre detonation or "knock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find that strange must be an old car, I have left a car for 3 months using E20 in it, only had to check battery and it fired up straight away.

jackdd Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Here in Thailand Shell is selling "V-Power" and Esso is selling "Supreme+", but this kind of fuel is just a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
