Hi all
just thought i'd say that Tesco's are experiencing problems with their fuel ....
they're customer services have confirmed that it's affecting both diesel and petrol ..
and it's a nationwide issue with all Tesco's filling stations invovled
-
Oh great! I just put £20 worth in my bike yesterday :roll:
-
sorry mate ....but i only just found out today :roll:
-
do you know what the problem is?? as that could be the cause of all my problems!!!
lets hope so :lol:
-
no
...all Tesco's are saying is ..." we are aware there is a problem ..and are investigating it"
sorry i can't be of any help :oops:
-
sorry mate ....but i only just found out today
Not your fault buddy :) I just hope it's nothing to serious, at least the bike doesn't have any catalysts or oxygen sensors to get mucked up 8)
Just four carbs and a very flexible right wrist :lol:
-
I know what the problem is
It's too damned expensive :evil:
-

something tells me your problems are a little worse than your fuel input :(biglaugh):

Interesting, my other halfs subaru has been playing up, error codes report knock sensor. Reset ECU and it runs fine for a while. She's filled up at tescos last 2 times, will stick some Shell V-power through it and see if that cures before messing with knock sensor.

Might that explain Piglet cutting out and the check engine light coming on :(
-
Sounds like a good reason to avoid the evil, moneygrabbing, lying, lawbreaking* organisation for once and for all. They really are scum.
* documented widespread intentional breaking of planning regs & unlawful dumping of thousands of tonnes of rubble for example
-
We NEVER normally use them .. but the light was on and Piglet is notorious for lying about reserves :(

Yeah, but they haven't twigged that their pay at the pump thingy has the wrong price on it ... 100.9 on the other pumps, 98.9 on the pay at the pump one :D

Supermarket fuel always seems dodgy...
"You gets whats you pays for" as they say...
BP Ultimate rocks !!!

Absolute rubbish - its all the same weather it be BP, Shell, Tesco or Asda! Except the premium fuels like BP Ultimate, which is just more expensive, and give zero performance gain or other benefits as proven recently in a scientific test!
-
I just wish that my problems were confined to dodgy fuel :cry:

Not true mate, I have done several experiments filling my car & van with Sainsburys Diesel, they both ran rough with uneven tickovers. After filling at local BP a couple of times (normal Diesel) they are both running a lot better.

Depends on the car and how th maps done, if like can be don on some cars you reset the ecu and then let it relearn what ignition advance it can get away with on "better" fuel then you'll get a performance gain if you leave it on the old knock settings then you'll probably loose power. Not all engines can do that but many cn scoobies for instance. Also if it was no better than normal ful how come when they first launched Optimax lots of the Group N boys had their rally cars remapped for it instead of the "rocket fuels" they were using (many still are come to that). There must have ben a power gain over standard or they'd have stayed on "rocket fuel".

All the fuel comes out the same tanks from the depots.....its the SAME!
-
i always fill up at tescos and it runs fine :?:

So why was it only Tescos/Morrisons that were effected last time there was a problem?

:lol: thats ok mate but how does a dead battery have any thing to do with petrol :?: :twisted: :wink:
-
Just to throw the cat in amongst the Pidgeons.
Tesco Extra is Esso or BP fuel
Tesco Express is Esso fuel.
Optimax or whatever its called and the esso variant are different smo, put a car thats capable of making use of it and it makes a hell of a difference.
Most 4x4s dont care if its petrol, deisel or puree'ed badger

Thankyou for that, i rest my case, its the same! :) (and it all meets the same EU/BS standards)
I was referring to diesel, rather than petrol, yes optimax is a better fuel, well higher RON but like you say, only good in a car which takes afvantage of it which is generally only performace vehicles, imported JAP motors and things like scoobies!
EDIT: on a side note, i run my A3 on tesco fuel and fill up about 3 times a week doing nearly 65K a year to work and back - never had a problem with it!

Well having filled the IIA up the other day at tesco i have noticed no difference in the way it goes. But then It is a proper land rover engine with none of the this fancy electrics to go wrong. :P
and conversely was built on the premise of running on poor quality fuel without a problem.
Stuck 20 quid of diesel in my dad's 90 last night from tesco and that has been out and about today with no problems either.
I'm confused????? :?:

I know mate im only kidding but you bit so fast haha :wink:

until last year My Fiancee worked for pace petroleum, formally Q8. there distribution plant sold and delivered the same fuel to both the supermarkets and places like BP and visa versa they brought from the BP distribution plants too (suppply and demand who had the tankers in the right places at the right time, and yes the only differance was the additives, that incedently form only a tiny part of the fuel and are mainly there to control the smell...
