Instead of the faff with octane booster why not just use Tesco 99 Momentum.

+1 for that.

Also, fuel additives such as Millers (which contains detergents) shouldn't be used in these cars.

Taken from https://www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com/

“Do not use leaded fuels, fuel additives, or fuels with lead substitutes, e.g., manganese-based. Doing so may adversely affect the vehicle's exhaust emission control systems and the warranty coverage.”

“Fuel system cleaning agents should not be used, unless approved by the vehicle manufacturer. Inadequate cleaning agents may damage the fuel system.”

Yep....your car, your dough lol

Whether or not the car is under warranty, Jaguar advises against using fuel additives and fuel system cleaning agents (as you are using) unless approved by the vehicle manufacturer! I tend to listen to the manufacturer and not a DIY learner such as yourself ;)

Bought my car outright (cash) from the start....never had a loan for a vehicle and never will!

So you think that supermarket fuel such as Tesco Momentum 99 doesn’t contain any additives.....think again? Momentum 99 contains a special blend of additives that meets British Standards specification which helps keep the fuel system clean, working at its best, and helps engine performance. Additionally, the higher octane level (99 compared to 95 for regular unleaded petrol) gives improved overall engine performance for those cars (generally sportier models) that are able to take advantage, e.g. the Jaguar F-Type. I use it and the occasional tank full of Shell V-Power in my car.

Tesco E5, super grade fuel (Momentum 99) contains up to a maximum of 5 per cent ethanol.

Taken from https://www.ownerinfo.jaguar.com/.....

“It is recommended to use a premium unleaded fuel, with a minimum octane rating of 95 RON to contribute to optimum performance, fuel economy and driveability." Also...."Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol (E5 and E10) may be used.”

In Motor Trade sales you say.....nah not for me, I prefer the technical stuff and getting my hands dirty!

Give us a shout if you need any advice on the F-Type :lol:

Well, it is political and I have mentioned this on another previous post of yours.
This is a car forum so politics can go elsewhere.
No more thank you.
