Any fuel will be ok in it.

I've used everything from the crap 95-octane stuff we have over here to the 100-octane stuff on the continent in my '97 4.2 with de-cats for about a year and a half now with no problems.

I use Tesco 97. 99 hasn't reached us yet, or if it has they haven't re-branded the pumps frown

Might be a bit lumpy on diesel though wink


I agree, any 95 or better petrol works fine
