Thanks Jura


Silver:
We are unsure about the Methanol contribution although things are pointing to the Meths causing the problem.
The tank has been drained and the fuel will be tested for impurities, %, gelling, contaminants and separation issues.

I have a strong feeling that Meths caused the problem.
I have spent much time in talks with the head of fuel development at Trinity Fuel Research before when Meths caused a problem and by what he informed me it's pointing to the gelling effect that blocked one of the injectors causing the cylinder to run lean resulting in valve damage.

A leakage test has proved the the cylinder in question show 90%.

What i do know is that the Meths - V Power % was correct at 20% and that I did activate the Map 2 switch, which is the map for Meths.




Will keep you updated.
