309 unleaded ?

SAE140 · 07-24-2008, 02:55 PM

Hi - I've just bought a low mileage 309 (1294 engine) in exceptional condition - and although it's 1989 vintage, in my view it's well worth saving.

Problem: The owner's manual specifically states that unleaded RON95 fuel should NOT be used.

But the Haynes manual says unleaded RON95 is ok, and without any ignition adjustment.

So - who to believe ?

Hi Colin

Well I'd probably go with the Haynes advice...I don't know too much about petrol, but I would have thought that the modern unleaded fuels should be ok. Put some in and see if it pinks under load.

Cheers
