Fuel and fuel gauge

[lfcrule1972]

Do you read the articles Chris? I didn't say that the expensive premium fuel you buy is the same as standard fuel, what I said was that you and others have a snobbery about supermarket fuels yet the refineries aren't owned by Tesco, Sainsbury etc....

As for how I fuel my car and use the diesel, thanks I will carry on as I have always done with diesels, I'd rather do it my way and allow the gradual dispersion of any impurities with each tank than have fuel in my car that I have convinced myself I can't use..... :confused: I have used this method for the past four diesel cars I've owned and NEVER had any issues with fuel or impurities.

Cheers cyclone, I honestly thought this was an issue with older fuels (maybe when I first passed my test 24 years ago ?), I routinely fill mine up and then run it to almost empty (maybe 20 miles left on the screen) and therefore think this will be less of an impact ? Or to put it another way, I have been doing this for years and no issues to date....

I won't even get into the new cleaner fuels etc that presumably have less crap in them ?

I firmly believe that the quality and cleanliness of fuel in general has improved over the years. No proof as I do not know much beyond the basic knowledge of the process. Whatever the fuel, where ever it is sold it is all susceptible to contamination! One delivery driver not paying attention could introduce a considerable amount of dirt into the fuel. This goes for premium fuel or the lowest grade supermarket special fuel on the planet. What you are getting with premium gas is a higher octane rating (sometimes)and a better additive package
