The guy I bought it from was using the red pump 4*. Would that cause any problems?

not really but its bloody expensive and a rotary engines have always been able to run on unleaded due to a total lack of valves :D

May i add my experiences with optimax?Having used it on a few occasions,i\'ve noticed no difference between it and regular unleaded,apart from needing a mortgage with every fuelling.:mad:

Mike is dead right.
You will find that you have the same power and the spark plugs last longer with lowest octane available from the pumps.
Kind regards
