Diesel ... is it all the same ??

(1/7) > >>

wizard:
Is there a difference between Shell, BP, Texaco etc and Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons fuel.
They must all come from the same source.
So is a branded fuel better than supermarket stuff, and if so why.I know someone who claims more mpg on BP fuel than Tesco's fuel.

wizard :twisted:

Dr Evil:
Does he use the super diesel, or regular diesel ?
I bet he uses the same pump everytime, which will turn out to be........super diesel

 my dad runs a WCF filling staion an i was talkin to one of there drivers askin the same qustion as this an the driver said They can all come frome the same refinery just labled up differantly. Although some fuel componys do by a lower grade

TDi90:
Dont buy supermarket fuel  :shock:
i have heard some people have had problems in the past and not only just from that spout of bad fuel we had a while ago.
i wont touch supermarket fuel.

The basic spec is laid down - if the EN number is the same it has to be the same.
The big companies claim to put additives in; choose if you think it's Worth it? As has been said there is no Tesco, Morrisons or Asda refinery so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out.

What can vary is the quality control of transport and storage tanks; being the same on the way out of the refinery doesn't necessarily mean it's the same coming out the pump. I would not like to bet on who has the better standards though!
