Tesco Diesel
Ja1983:
--- Quote from: "V8MoneyPit" ---The additives only really make a difference on modern higher performance engines. Older, inherently less efficient, designs are more tolerant of fuel variations. That's why old Mercs are so favoured in Africa where the fuel is.... err...... variable!
If you are running a high mileage engine, the last thing you want is a detergent washing out all the deposits. It will start leaking straight away!

my thoughts exactly... ECU controlled, fine injectors, sensetive fuel pumps, variable vain turbos etc wont benefit from been fed any old slush..
compare the fuel in your car and its general use, to the diets of say jonny vegas and a high class athelete.... you would put differant fuel in a TVR to a lawnmower!
having said that my rover runs a lot better on Shell diesel extra, not as well, but gets more miles out of bp premium diesel, and like the landy on a cold morning on supermarket fuels. :lol:

i know through what evilgoat was telling me a while back when there were signs of blocades again that Tesco use esso fuel... the tesco branded tankers fill the big stores and then the esso branded tankers fill the ickle expresses...
I think thats the right way round... and appolgies for the spelling its not my strong point today along with the typing in general :(

Well then Heres one for you then, i used to work for tesco as HGV 1 Driver, got made redundent when they shiped in half of the Polish work force.. All fuel is ordered and controled from their Brackmills D/C(Northampton) and it comes from where ever they can get it at the Cheepest price, not bothered who, But the main supplier was Esso when i was there. Not that im bitter and twisted :twisted: but Tesco can go to hell, i use as many small Local shops as i can now, and the food tastes much better and its around the same price. STUFF THE SUPERMARKETS. :twisted: :twisted:
