[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7803512, member: 718"] That's a load of bull. Tesco diesel comes from the same tank in the same refinery as everyone else's. It meets EN590 specification and that's all that is required. Some brands may add their own additive package on top but usually only on their premium product, where that alternative is offered. Shell used to add some tiny quantity of extra anti-foam and detergent to their diesel, probably mainly acetone. I get diesel delivered and make sure it comes from the Essar refinery at Stanlow which is always consistently good. It is exactly the same stuff that is delivered to many independents who sell branded fuel in the area, including probably Tesco. If I had it delivered from the Certas depot to my South, it would be diesel imported by ship to Milford Haven and I have found that to be less consistent and more prone to contamination resulting in shorter fuel filter life. I have no definitive proof of this though and it is only my experience with one or two batches a few years ago. Maybe Tesco fill up with imported fuel that has been refined abroad, I don't know and probably depends on location again. It should still meet EN590 whatever and contamination probably depends a lot on how soon your vehicle is filled after a tanker has dumped its load in the local pump's storage tank. [/QUOTE]
