Octane Level in Bahrain

[Dr.Xta-C]

Does anyone by any chance know the octane levels for our fuel in Bahrain (Jayyid, Mumtaz)... Actually, who gives a crap about Jayiid..!?! anyone know the Octane Level for Mumtaz fuel in Bahrain? I remember having a link to a website that used to claim it was 91 Jayyid, 95 Mumtaz but I lost that link... Anyone has it..!?!

... Any help is appreciated!

[SpiderSol]

89 MUMTAZ (91 on GCC scale)
85 JAYYED

Where'd u get ur info from .. !?!?

[SpiderSol]

it was posted earlier here

[Ottoman]

my father works at bapco..

He asked the head chemist there.. (a british dude who does quality control)


Jayyid is 91 RON
Mumtaz is 95 RON

that's when it leaves bapco in tankers..

as for when it arrives in the gas station and gets watered down.. who knows..

Does it actually get watered down, I have my doubts, or did you just use that as a figure of speech .. !?!?!

[Ottoman]

yeah i was just joking man..

i dunno if they really do tamper with it... but if fuel does sit in storage a long time.. it can go bad...

[Dr.Xta-C]

The reason I'm asking is because I'm having a tuner in the states tune my PCM and he has stressed on that I need to have a 160 degree thermostat and use fuel of at least 93 RON.. The thermostat is on it's way and I know I've read that our mumtaz is 95 RON but I just needed that to be verified..! I can't remember the link I read that info off... I think it was bahrain unleaded or something of the sort but my guesses today haven't lead me anywhere..!

Thanx 4 the info!

i asked a couple of workers at petrol stations in Bahrain, most of em said, Jayid is 87 and Mumtaz is 92
some said mumtaz is 95

But hey, you gotta admit, they are great at addition & subtraction :)

[4ced]

So otto, youre saying fuel stations should have an expiry date on them?

[BikeMaster]

This Question has been brought up numerous times and some ppl say one thing other say different.
Isnt there somewhere we can check if it actual is 93 or 95?
Ppl working at fuel stations will say anything to get u off thier backs anyway. Maybe the only way to go for sure is VP :blink:
I mean They cant even tell us what the weather will be like, u think they can tell us what our fuel will be? :vader:

Mumtaz 95 RON
Jayyid 91 RON

www.unleadedbahrain.com is expired.

The US use PON octane which is: RON + MON devided by 2 = PON
But the Americans just call it "Octane" Instead of PON.
Bahrains 95 RON is US's 92 PON octane level and Bahrains MON Mumtaz is 89 which is 95 RON. Make sure if your tuner knows you're using 95 RON, and not the calculation of gas they use in the states.

[Splash]

Bahrain Mumtaz= 92 octane on the USA scale.

Designo has confirmed this once upon a time:)

So can somebody confirm?

[tyrant]

^^^hehehe still wondering abut this!

Like mentioned above Mumtaz is 95 RON = 92 PON

[arsenal]

mumtaz is 95, 100% confirmed.

checked with my bro in law who works in bapco's lab, also in some new stations i've seen it written on the gas pump it self e.g. jawad's petrol station in seef district.

[designo]

You guys are old news seriously.

[wafi]

mamtaz = 95 RON
I work in Bapco exactly in the unit which produces mamtaz fuel

[t88_power]

I think it's 91 to be honest

If it was 95 the car wouldn't knock soo much above 1.2 bar :(

It's really shitty ... Me and staind brought tanks of UAE 98 gas for our cars, pathatic really

[Attack666]

^^ true.. Our vette cant handle the SUPPOSED to be 95 octane mumtaz when its supposed to be just fine..

No plans so far for loacal market althow we do produce 98 RON for export only and that is the highest RON the plant can produce

[designo]

In european countries, they retain the good stuff and export the crap stuff! In this part of the world, it's the other way around.

Thread revival, so guys today i was at AAA garage and i asked Del khumiri as well and they both said Bahrain fuel is 91 Ron. Can anyone reconfirm this? Thanks.

[Ottoman]

Ejaz,

91-92 PON which is the US standard

and 95 RON which is the euro standard

[0-60motorsports]

Thanks Bro But is MUMTAZ really 95 ron?

[Quarantine]

Thanks Bro But is MUMTAZ really 95 ron?

I think so. Bahrain Mumtaz is 95RON 91PON

but you don't have to believe it:crazy:

[SpiderGirl]

ana madree main shalak5 3alai o gal 98!!:dot:

but that was like 3 years ago.. seriously cant remember!:screwy:

[Ottoman]

Thanks Bro But is MUMTAZ really 95 ron?


the Bapco stations yes..

the other non bapco ones are not always 95.. it's sometimes watered Down.. :P

[gt_mustang]

even in saudi u get 91 and 95 which i beleibe is

91gulf = 87 usa
95gulf= 91 usa

i wrote an email to a parts dealer in usa and he replied me with the above conversion

[NinjaBoy]

Forget about our pump fuel. Just go for VP all the way...:headbang:

[JonnybravoM3]

1 October 2006! Why would you revive this thread?! Fuel in Bahrain hasn't changed yet and probably never will.

[Dxbtune]

bump on what seems a tense topic...

I can't believe the don't sell some quality fuel over here. Look at the cars that come out of the showrooms!! its really too bad.. even a stock evo has a 98+ only sticker on the inside of the gas flap.

There must be a way to make a petition to get some of the 98 they export to other countries. I'm 100% sure everyone will sign it (yeah i'm dreaming I know)
:ranton:

Ok so has anyone got concrete facts about the fuel here...
95 mumtaz is like 91 in the states I read a few times on here... is that true?

Most importantly, where is the best and busiest petrol station in bahrain to ensure there always fresh gas there?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.....

Dxbtune

[Ottoman]

yeah 95RON =91 PON

they even write 91 and 95 RON on some of the gas pumps now..

as for good gas

stick to the Bapco branded stations..

they are checked more closely then the other stations..

[Dxbtune]

^ thanks bud.
