Tesco diesel probs

[bortaf]

It does come from the same tanker but the grade of fuel is rubbish for supermarkets they buy the fuel that is used to clean the tanks at the refineries which is full of crap and cleaning agents which will dislodge any crap you have in the tank or pipes, or if they can't buy any of this type of fuel which is signifently cheaper, then they buy fuel from other countries like czech republic which is not the same quality or ron and then they add the additives so on paper it is of uk quality but it's not, if you are really unlucky then then you might get fuel from that is used to clean the tanks from other countries that are not cleaned as often and are really full of crap

 

sorry but that is bollox as i allready said i've followed tankers from my local shell staion to my local tesco and i asked the driver about it cos this same conversation came up on the transit forum, only differance is in the additives added by the individual retailer

each forcourt has it's pumps tested for flow rate accuracy and quality by HM Revenue & Customs, (used to be called weights and measures back in the day) on a bi or monthy basis, just go ask somone who works in a petrol station

it might all come from the same place, in the same tankers and tested etc

 

but the fact remains that we only ever hear of problems with supermarket fuel!!!

 

It always seem to be the case that those who have had a problem notice it goes away once they go back to a branded fuel so who knows where the problem lies but there defiantly seems to be a problem nonetheless.
