• What brand of Diesel ? 8 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Apparently there is a difference between say Shell brand petrol and supermarket petrol. What about DIESEL brands (ignoring low sulpher), are they all the same? Anybody know?
• Supermarket Fuel 30 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  There are 3 diesels in the family - and all of us have nnoticed that when we use supermarket fuel (especially Tesco) we get 3 to 5 mpg LESS than we do when we fill up with Shell. Fortunately, our Shell garage sells at the same price (sometimes cheaper - even with Tesco 5p off a litre) than the local Tesco and Morrisons, but I've tended to use Tesco simply to get Clubcard points.
• Derv AND 2 star mix up 2 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  As reported in the local press this week, the following occurred at a supermarket in Surrey. Diesel was delivered into their Unleaded tanks. Later admitted that \"we did have a problem with the diesel as well.\" I assume that was Petrol delivered into the Diesel tanks. \"customers who had diesel put into petrol cars will be fully compensated but if it happened the other way round it is different\" \"If more than 20 per cent of petrol was filled in to a diesel tank then it would cause damage to the car\" A customer complained after getting fuel that \"it sounded really weird\" so went to their garage who told her not to drive it.
• - Supermarket Fuel Telegraph Cars Section Today 2 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  Writing in todays motoring section Alex Robbins says there is no empirical evidence to show that Supermarket fuel is inferior. But a local company that manufactures Spectroscopy equipment have told me that when used to check fuels, the supermarket diesel was found to have less additives. And therefore inferior.
• Diesel fuel - where to source it 27 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  All, I know HJ's views on supermarket petrol. Do the same apply to Diesel fuel or is it just a case of buying the cheapest possible. Is there any difference between brands? In anticipation. Robert

• All makes and models - Possibly the end of the fuel debate? 20 Mar 2017 (Forum)
  Asda is middle of the road diesel, but he said any modern diesel car should stay away from supermarket fuels apart from tesco and use either BP ultimate or Shell v power or equivalent as they need the extra dose. Was a very interesting conversation, I wont bore you all with the rest but perhaps one step closer in the debate.
