Aircraft nearly brought down by Tesco Fuel

Are the Tesco tanker drivers in dispute at the moment? Google Tesco Bellshill, that delivery driver stuck diesel in the unleaded tank too.

Not had anyone jump to the defence of supermarket fuel yet.
strange but it is early.

You fly on fuel that scumbles car engines?

I've a Customs & Excise pal who won't use Tesco's stuff - the Road Fuel Testing Unit team regard it as right on the border between dubious & hazardous.

They hold that there are passable cheap teabag teas in life, but no cheap answers for acceptable fuel.

Can you post a picture of the receipt?

Surely you should have bought it from Shell - they do a great line in Halal sandwiches for your pack up but you'd have had to pay with cash

Well done.

You're not allowed to buy or store it in a 20 litre container. 10 litre is the maximum and it must be metal.

You bought the fuel illegally and want tesco to do something about it.

Hardly relevant to ops problem. And ops problem certainly isn't consequential to your point.

If your travelling at 70mph in a 60 and I pull out in front of you then do you think I'm any less in the wrong

I thought all fuel, including the cheapest, regardless of whether it came from Shell, BP, Sainsbury's, Tesco, had to meet a clearly defined specification? I've never had anyone tell me to avoid Tesco because it's borderline hazardous?

It does. It also all comes from the same tanks at the same handful of regional distribution depots supplied down the same pipelines from the same couple of refineries. But such minor details have never stopped the conspiracy theorists...

So op's fuel was fine then?

See if you can think of other sources of contamination that may have occurred after the fuel left the distribution depot in the tanker heading to the petrol station. There are quite a few. Some will affect every vehicle that filled with that fuel from that station, others will not.
