Hi everyone.

Many thanks for all the responses. As I'm not exactly sure of the engine history I think the best course for me to follow is to...

1. Drain the tank.

2. Refill with high (97/98) octane fuel

3. Use Castrol lead replacement, certainly for the next 500 miles or so, maybe longer.

Anyone violently disagree  ?

Thanks again folks..

Hi All

I just bought a 1966 Vitesse Mk1 convertable that started off it's life as a 1598 but in the late 70's was upgraded to 2Ltr.

The car is running very smoothly, needs some body work but is in a reasonable condition.

My question is about fuel/Petrol

1.  What the best for this age vehicle ?

2. How can I fathom out what is already in the tank ??

Any help or advise would be really appreciated.

Thanks,,  Alan.
