Regarding diesel quality.

For years I've been habitualy using Sainsburys. Cheapest around here.

Got very low one evening and Sainsburys was closed.

Called at local Esso station and filled up. 1p/ltr dearer than Sainsburys at the time.:nenau

After a few miles motoring I realised the old girl was smoother and had more torque---quieter too. ( Not like my wife who gets noisier as she talks ).

Now on my fourth Esso fill up.

MPG seems better too. Maybe it's all my imagination ; but if it is then I shall buy dearer and imagine it's cheaper.

One of the problems you may come across that could cause indifferent running , not sure how it affects mpg is the question about whats actually in your fuel.

When it leaves the refinery or storage yes its scientifically mixed with each companies additives to make it smell nicer or whatever added.

One thing that can occur on a regular basis from a retail outlet is petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol.

That occurs because empty tankers after delivering and before refilling have two states. Notionally empty and cleaned empty.

Cleaned empty is just that steamed and dried , notional occurs where a usually dedicated fuel tanker is not cleaned out and a new load is added. It may fill up with diesel but the previous load may have been petrol with the tanker emptied only as far as practicable. That can leave a fair bit in the bottom of a tanker. Perfectly normal practice and the reason you will see a diesel tanker on the road marked up as carrying petrol. The remnants are sufficient to be classified as the higher risk!!!!!! all legit and commonplace.

I guess the turnover and delivery system to each retail outlet will vary and impact.

I was aware of this but never thought much of it until I opened my filler a while back on my 2.7tdi after a diesel fill and got a definite whiff of petrol

I too have found that Shell derv gives more mpg than morrisons have been running 10% used chip oil and find that the engine runs smoother, I am going to try 15%. Any advice on this would be welcome .
My maverick is a 93 2.7 done 88k
P.S do hiclones work.
