The SHELL fuel hey - Well unfortunately for me I have no other option because there is no other servo for about 220km...country service you see.

This makes a lot of sense - because it something that happens over about 3 weeks of daily driving.

Okay, next step - HOTTER plugs. Can someone get me an NGK number for a hotter plug? I tried this earlier in the year, and I think I went backwards!

The plugs I'm running at the moment are NGK NF5S or something. But I think it's the number that counts right? SO - do I want to go to a 4 or a 6? What's 'hotter' to burn off all this carbon?

Thanks for setting me straight again so far.

I still plan to lean it through smaller jets in a month anyway, so this may help a bit I hope, but for now it's going to be cleaning plugs each weekend! Joy. Also, can anyone recommend the best way to blast a plug? I've used carbie cleaner and it does a great job. anything else?

Anyone think that an octane supplement will help it at all?

Hotter = smaller number (I'm 90% sure)

Shouldn't a pinto be running NGK AP6 plugs??


You can try running a GOOD quality fuel system treatment, i found that the LiquiMoly products work VERY VERY well haha use most of them on my cars and the wifes Fiesta aswell
The octane treatment actually gained 27kw in my dyno car when i used it too, which is prob the greatest gain i've ever seen in a bottle
