shouldn't need it. I used to put it in my old camper because I didn't know if they ran on unleaded or not back then

Doesn't need it....what engine letters do you have? I only ask because the higher compression DJ was designed to run on 98 Ron petrol whilst others; (MV/SS are 95 Ron)
Having said this, quite a few on here who have 2.1 DJ's run 95 Ron but with the ignition timing retarded to compensate.
