Dirty Petrol
« on: 20 September 2009, 17:31 »
Just talking with a friend of my misses there and she is a petrol station owner/manager (A supermarket one, wont say which). Got talking about our new car we have on order, after a long conversation about this and that, she mentioned that for petrol we need to stay away from supermarket petrol and only goto Esso, Shell, BP stations. Asked her why ?

The tankers that the supermarket stations use are often very dirty, the supermarkets do not add additives to their fuel either and hence are not very good quality at all. Shell etc all use clean tankers, clean fuel and is of a much better quality.

I had never given this much of a thought before. Anyone else heard this ? I wouldnt want to be putting dirty fuel into my GTI.

Well stone the crows, a duplicate thread. That never happens in here. Sue me.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Just read the full 4 page other thread, it talks about morrisons fuel. Thats it. Nothing about this being supermarkets in general, nothing about any extra additives etc used in esso/shell/bp fuels and not a jot about how dirty the tankers are that supermarkets use.

 :rolleyes:
