So I filled up this morning from the gas light having come on. That diluted the oil enough that by the time I got home the chirping was back. It was quieter than before buck quickly getting louder.

Noticed really loud consistent chirping around 1000km mark. Had been filling up at petrocan94. Filled up at Shell today after gas light came on, and all chirping gone. Hopefully it stays this way..

It seems Shell gas has been helping the chirping. Two members aren't getting the sound once they use that brand. I'm going to try it at my next fill up.

Others are having luck after buying certain brands. I think what they are actually getting is ethanol free gas.

I carry a 1L bottle in the car, with graduations so that you see how much you are adding. I also set the trip each time I fill up so that I know how much to add. It doesn't need to be exact. As I mentioned for my diesel I use 200:1 but suggested that 500:1 should be enough to lubricate the high pressure fuel pump. That is the same reason I use it and my common rail diesel also runs a cat. Once again, Valvoline 2 stroke RACING oil, is very high spec and the only one I use. 30mpg will give about 400miles to a tank. If you increase a bit to 4oz per tank that gives a simple 1oz per 100miles on the trip when you fill up so you chuck it in first for 420:1 I would also be concerned for the rest of the HP fuel system that has been designed to use fuel carrying a lubricant as they have in Japan. The better MPG is a fact and noticeable using it at 200:1 As is smoother and quieter. |

Something came to mind when ethanol popped up and maybe the HPFP is causing the ethanol to draw in moisture in to the HPFP as it compresses the fuel and washing the lubrication from the fueling system. It may mean the use of a fuel stabilizer to keep the moister down and all parts well lubricated. It will only get worse when they up the ethanol to 15%.
