Supermarket fuel is well known to be poorer quality then that of an oil companies. I think its down to the additives they use mostly, however some also inport their fuel from outwith the UK which can be suspect......how longs it been sat in a tank/boat for?? Remember the silicon contamination a while back in Tesco/Asda fuel that was fucking peoples cars!!

I only use BP/Shell Petrol (theres no Esso nearby & I dont trust the french - Total)

For diesel ive been using BP or Asda.
