welke benzine te gebruiken

[jac137]

Hallo allemaal,

Wij hebben sinds kort een porsche 914 1.8ltr usa model uit 1974.
Mijn vraag is welke benzine kan ik hiervoor het beste gebruiken, ongelood euro 95 of benzine met loodvervanger.

21) What kind of fuel should I put into my 914? I’ve heard that old VWs have to use leaded fuel.

VW has been using the “right stuff” to keep their cars running on unleaded fuel since before the 914s were made. So don’t worry if you can’t get leaded gasoline. In fact, the 75-76 California cars (and maybe other areas?) had catalytic converters, which reqire the use of unleaded gasoline!

Octane is usually measured in two ways, RON (Research Octane Number; the German-language version is “ROZ”), and MON (Motor Octane Number). It appears as if most US pumps are labeled with “(R+M)/2”, which would be the average of RON and MON. There is typically an 8-10 point difference in the two rating systems for any given batch of gasoline. If you average, you’ll find the pump rating is about 4-5 points less than the ROZ rating.

Porsche listed the octane requirements for the 914 on a sticker in the front trunk. On my 74 2.0, it’s on the top of the right-side wheel well. The numbers are generally listed as “XX ROZ” or “XX ROZ/RON” (remember that ROZ and RON are the same thing).

A run-down of the octane requirements for some cars:
Year & Engine Engine Serial# Octane listed Pump Octane
70-73 1.7 “W”, “EA” 98 ROZ (86 MOZ) 92-94
73 1.7, Cal “EB” 91 ROZ 87
73-74 2.0, US “GA” 91 ROZ 87
73+ 2.0, RoW “GB” 98 ROZ 92-94
74-75 1.8, US “EC” 91 ROZ 87 74-75 1.8, RoW “AN” 98 ROZ 92-94
75-76 2.0, US “GC” 91 ROZ 87

The numbers here, except for the non-US (“RoW”) cars, are from the stickers in various net-fourteeners’ trunks. The RoW numbers are from Haynes.
Please note, these figures are for vehicles in stock trim! If your engine is modified (higher compression, advanced timing, etc.) then your fuel requirements may change.

Gewoon 98 ongelood in gooien.
Daar rijden ze het beste op.
