Ferrari burnt while pumping petrol

[Slayer]

Ever saw video clip of brakes rotor red hot after hard driving? hot enough to ignite ?

I thought V power has higher octane then 98, no?

Then I am mistaken.

V power oso 98 octance bro, strictly speaking.

This new spc petrol really burns fast, overhead at the radio station can improve engine performance.

This is Ferrari 458 Spider .. .. still pretty thou burnt!

 

 

not 458.

you won't be able to see the 458 exhaust from this angle because its 3 pipes are suppose to be at the middle.

[Lazydala]

yes .. right .. my mistake. it is F430 ..otherwise there won't be exhaust at side..

V-power produced the same power as fuel Saver 98 on Dyno.

Probably static electricity from the drivers body. There has been a few well documented cases of static electricity causing fires at petrol stations. The basic explanation is that static electricity builds up while you drive as your clothes are rubbing against the seat. A charge imbalance develops between you and the seat and is unable to ground as you are wearing shoes which is an insulator. When you step out of the car and touch it, the chargers balance through your finger tips which give you that sharp painful zap. This sharp painful zap could actually be as high as 10,000 volts of electricity moving between you and the car and it can ignite fuel vapours when you are pumping petrol. To prevent this, you should "earth" yourself by touching a metal part of the car before getting out and pumping petrol.

Haiz......perhaps the engine was so damm hot....and the person pumping it want to pump it to the max....causing the fuel to spill or the vapor to ignite on contact with the hot parts.

 

He thought he was pumping in JB. Did any one see him shaking the car to clear the air voids?

Higher grade of 98, but still 98 mah. Octane measures the amount of compression that a fuel can withstand before combusting or detonating. The higher the number the better.

Its the additives that they put into the v-power and fuel save 98 that makes them different. Marketing talk, not i say one. But doesn't change the combusting characteristics of the two fuels cos' still 98 octane.

In UK, they used to have v-power 101. But cost GBP2.50 per litre. That's like S$5 per litre.

The news reported that the owner himself keeps pumping in fuel after the auto-stop, fuel spill out from the nozzle and cause the flash fire.

Weird for a owner of a high end car to want to pump fuel to the brim.....maybe he forgot and think he is still in JB pumping cheap petrol?

It's just speculation, isn't it too early to judge?

 

It could be he don't want to pump too often.

 

For most car, auto stop to brim can fill in additional 10 to 15 liter.

I think only turbocharged can felt the power ,N/A. cannot felt any difference.
