RN5 is what I always used, aside from experiments with NGK. They had the nice tan colour one wants.  Fuel in CT is 10% alcohol, and the engine ran very nicely. 
   BPR6 is approx the same heat range, also used in MGBs.
   Either should work well for you. Just judge by the colour.

Thanks Folks, for the opinions. I was just interested in what others use.
We must remember that the XPAG was designed to run on just about anything
that one can get into the tank. Britain was still rationing most everything
when these cars were built. And the quality of petrol was quite poor.
That's why I am not picky about what feeds my TD.
