  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

One thing I did not know about lead substitute

Alright, I have had this lead substitute on my shelves for years, I guess I bought it when they stopped selling leaded petrol here, and used it now and then in my vmax. I don't know if it did her some good, but at least it did not hurt.

On the other hand, as I and the rest of the family own together more than 10 bikes, and that roughly speaking, I am the only one who ride them, I have had a couple of issues with 95 or 98 gasoline turning bad in a 1300 XJR and 550 kawa after staying a couple of years without running ( that means rusted tank, clogged jets, rotten rings, and so on... a pita to get them working again :banghead: )

And I have recently found out that I had the solution to prevent this at hand, with the lead subsitute, because a 5ml of it in a full tank , plus letting it run down through the carb and engine, would stabilize modern gasoline and keep it clean for 2 years. Maybe you guys knew it, but I wanted to share for those who did not.
 
A VP fuel salesman told me that VP110 which contains lead has a 3 year shelf life with no additives. He also said that VP makes a fuel that is around 100 octane made for classic cars and museum engines that has a 30 year shelf life.
 
Do these fuels start to change when they are taken out of a sealed container and put into a vented gas tank? Just seems weird that there wouldn't be any evaporation or molecular change to the gas after it's removed from a sealed container.
 
Those VP products look amazing; I tried to get to the dealer's website for my country but it seems down. Not to get $1,000 big drums of gasoline of course , but at least try some of their products
