Sounds like you may have dislodged some crap
inside the tank. I haven`t heard of Optimax causing starving problems (but
have heard that it can damage rubber hoses/components).
Drain the tank and blow out the lines with
compressed air ( just make sure you disconnect hose from carby end), replace
the fuel filter and try again.
If you want the best filtration use a metal
cased filter to suit an EFI system. These filter down a lot further than the
normal fuel filters. I used one on my old race car with twin 45`s and the
bowls were always spotless.
I prefer to use Mobil 8000 or BP Ultimate down
here in Vic myself.

Subject: fuel in datto 1600
hey,
ran my datsun 1600 in a supersprint at willowbank on
saturday
car ran ok, bit lean at high revs, but what can u do
?
anyway I decided that instead of filling up with LRP i would use
Optimax with a lead replacer
I
put about 22 ltrs of optimax in a nearly empty tank
from that point onwards the car wouldn't run properly & kept
starving for fuel & stalling
there no reason that the optimax would cause a problem with the car
is there ?
I
took the fuel filter off & found a small piece of green plastic in
it
I
also noticed that the fuel did not seem to be gravity feeding
freely
from the tank as i assumed that fuel should gush out of the fuel
line
when there is nothing capping it ?
I
put some more LRP into the tank, but didn't seem to help
at this stage I am going to drain
& clean the tank as
I am assuming that
something is blocking the fuel lines from free
flowing
Cheers
Jeff
