do you think that supermarket fuel is different? a friend of mine drives a tanker and he drops at morrisons then str8 to an esso or shell. also supermarket service stations all ae new tanks so less chance of soiled fuel than an old branded station.
sorry to hear of your trouble dave i feel for you.

I always fill at Morrisons... its the cheapest in my area and all the refineries are the same so there should by no difference.

Tricky one this, tankers have multiple tanks so could carry different grades, and refinery's could for all I know produce different grades.

The boss of a taxi firm was telling me he used to fill his fleet at Tescos, then he changed to shell, and was certain that there was a marked difference in MPG, and he should know Confused

There are a lot of myths about fuel, like "you need to re-tune to run red diesel" Ive watched derv coming of a ship and there is a little tap that injects the dye, and I think a traceable chemical in. Quite funny as when the delivery was complete the tap was shut and what was left in the pipe was white, and a bit of a nudge nudge job Wink
