For the whole forum? Harsh but fair.

And you said you put the matches in the petrol itself. Fail.

In any case, if the vapour was not flammable the car wouldn't move. Quit while you're behind and don't talk sh*te next time :rotfl:

The cars (plurell) didnt move hence the RECOVERY guy collecting them and samples of fuel. Shaved monkeys dont read too good.

What complete and utter rubbish. Recovery man hauls in multiple cars with fuel that doesn't fire indeed (something you didn't even mention originally so there's not much wriggle room to invent things then claim to have said them later). Presumably these vehicles all broke down at the service station -- as that's the only way your story would even work.

Next time you invent bo11ocks, at least make it convincing.

Yet the fuel meets the standards.

If the manufacturers need the fuel to be better than the standards they're working to, there are one of two options available to them -- (1) lobby to improve the standards in place, and (2) stop building engines that are incompatible with standard fuel.

To suggest that it's the fault of the suppliers, when they are supplying fuel that meets the standards, is pathetic.

Fact is, many current diesel engine designs are unfit for purpose. If you want to continue making excuses and allowing manufacturers to get away with it, fine. Mildly irritating to me as it means I have to keep avoiding the festering things.

Might have been a dodgy batch or your car needed an 'italian tune up' and a good blast along the road. All comes from the same refineries at the end of the day...

It may come from the same refineries, but that doesn't mean it is the same.
