Anyone on here been affected by this strange petrol 'crisis'?

[eastlondonseagull]

Just wondered, like.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

No

 

[Lammy]

no

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

A bloke at work

 

[Woodchip]

Nope. My train has been running fine.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

The way the media are describing it, the problem's been ravaging the south east. Looks like we've escaped it

 

[readingstockport]

Not sure tbh. The car has developed a very unusual misfire last week but I'm not convinced it's the petrol. I do buy at morrissons though so it could be. I'm holding fire until the weekend when I can check the plugs and other things before I go into one at them.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No. 5B running fine.

 

[Munchkin]

Noticed my push bike backfiring yesterday.

Bloody Tesco's, knew I shouldn't have pumped my tyres up there.

Can I complain about contaminated air ??

Greenergy, who supply Tescos, are not, (by the standards of oil traders) THAT dodgy a set-up: they've been around for a while and led the way with refining greener fuels in the mid-90s - most other petrol stations in the SE are supplied by BP's TRIED AND TESTED Coryton refinery in Essex. Juicy story this: it might have shipping implications too, the batch may have been dirtied by old crud at the bottom of a tanker.

Thankfully, Tescos here use Statoil for their fuel, so its been clean

I reckon it's some anarchic environmental group who've deliberately tampered with the fuel

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Nope..diesel powered Hillbilly!

 

[Gritt23]

No, and I did fill up yesterday morning, when all this "dodgy" fuel seemed to first surface.

 

[Mrs Coach]

Nope.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

This is a major bandwagon. Every misfire, splutter, breakdown speeding ticket, puncture, MOT failure will now be blamed on dodgy Tesco fuel. If they admit anything, it'll cost them millions.

Think you're right there. Quite a scary scenario for the supermarkets and their distributor.

some batty old women was in esso this morning complaining that our fuel had 'ruined' her car because the engine was making an 'unhealthy noise' - it is going to get more and more ridiculous as the days go on

 

[Jimbo26]

I had to drive home in reverse gear tonight. The car ain't quite right at the moment !!

 

[Easy 10]

I filled up with Superunleaded by mistake at Shoreham Tesco on Tuesday night (usually I just have the normal unleaded). I was distracted by what I thought was a BAT flitting around the forecourt, and by the time I'd realised, I'd pumped £15 worth of Superunleaded into my tank. No difference, other than its about 4p a litre dearer I think.

No spluttering yet. Maybe Someone is looking after me ?
