Popular Post KarenBravo Posted August 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just an update. Previously, the only gas station in the south of the island that sold 95 benzine (yellow) was PTT on Chao Fah West. Now, it is also available at PTT on Chao Fah East, which it wasn't before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The Caltex station at Kathu traffic lights usually has 95 Benzine, although when I stopped for petrol yesterday they were out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 The Caltex station at Kathu traffic lights usually has 95 Benzine, although when I stopped for petrol yesterday they were out of it. They never used to. Seems like gas stations have realised that there is still a market for it and I'm sure it's very profitable at over 40 Bt per litre.

KarenBravo Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Unfortunately, my Honda super-cubs can't use anything else. Fortunately a full tank is three litres and lasts a week, or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong2 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 When I leave my 250cc twin for a month or more unused, the carburetor jets clog up. Suggested fuel by Thai agent is 95 but I think I have been using 95 ethanol, Would changing to 95 unleaded stop the jets clogging when I go home? Any opinions/suggestions?

The ethanol dissolves rubber from rubber tubing and plastic. This then gets deposited in the jets and carburettor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
