The MG Octagon Car Club - Fuel Problems Survey

The Octagon Car Club promotes social and sporting meetings for the benefit of members, provides members with information, advice and assistance and generally furthers the interest in the preservation and renovation of MG cars built prior to 1956.

Three years ago some of its members became aware that their cars were not running as well as they used to, suffering from overheating and petrol vaporisation problems. The problem was eventually attributed to the way older engines do not fully burn modern petrol. Suspicions confirmed by a set of rolling road tests using an MG TC.

It is our belief that these problems plague most classic cars and in conjunction with Classic Cars magazine the Octagon Car Club is sponsoring a survey to determine the extent of these problems, with the objective of encouraging research to find solutions that will benefit all classic car owners. I would also like to thank the Suffolk Vehicle Enthusiasts Club for their support.

Your input into this 3 step survey would be most appreciated.
