Sicamous Esso Premium - dead sleds

[sledjuan]

We filled 3 sleds on March 19 at the Esso in Sicamous and within two hours on the hill, two of the three had engines seize (both stock... 2006 and 2008 Doos). I heard one other sled (I think a Cat) had the same issue. Did anyone else have problems?

You never see a line up at that station, always go to the Petro

You really run regular in your sled? Shell V Power whenever possible.

that doesn't always work either, filled at the shell on 170st and 11ave where they split there by the tims, killed the old 670 until i put 2 thats right 2 containers of that iso heat water sucker upper crap in the tank so i could at least get it to run. that sled has never given a fuel issue before, besides always seems to be empty

regular in the cats for sure. It says never to run premium, cat power doesnt need the octane.

BWHAAAAAA!

They all have water seperators and filters or they would not meet Standards....

Why is it that only sleds have probs and not my truck or quad...


Things that make yah say huh.

NOT SAYING IT WAS THERE FUEL OR NOT.

just 2 cents.

'09 and older m-series call for regular and if they are stock they actually run better on reg, 2010 and newer reguire premium.

 

[capt. crunch]

If your buying Premium make sure they're going through lots of it.
Probably better to run fresh Regular than stale Premium.

yep if i can't get chevron 94 octane i use just reg gas with octane booster .... also i use either seafoam or iso alcahol every tank [ both keep or eat the water ] ... never use gas line antifreeze [ it has methanol in it which seporates the gas -oil mix.... ]
