What'S The Difference Between Red And Green Petrol?

[rugbyjacks]

I had just assumed that it was the same as in the UK Leaded and unleaded.

(Or used to be a while ago I admit).

But now I'm confused as I read another thread that talked about 91 and 95, ethanol, gashol and bentazene (Or something like that) and E10 and E20.

What!!???

I recently bought a Yamaha Fino (second hand) and the first time I went to the petrol station the pump attendant asked what petrol, I just shrugged and she put in the red stuff.

What should I be filling up with? I don't want to ruin the bike by using the wrong stuff!!

Thanks in advance for help!

There is no leaded or unleaded anymore. I remember that from when my Dad used to fill up the old Dodge. It is all unleaded now. In Thailand, red means benzine, and green means ethanol. I would read your manual to see if you can use ethanol or not.

Unfortunately it didn't come with a manual and I've no idea where to get one?

Most small step-thrus and automatics run on 91 octane (the red one).

The lowest specification for the fuel that your bike can use will usually be written on or next to the filler cap. Something like 91E10. (see above)
