I’m always interested to see where the Supermarkets produce their fuels. Must be some secret underground lab?

It can’t possibly be the same refineries the likes of Grangemouth that receives oil from the Forties Pipeline that carries over half a million barrels a day in from the U.K. and Norwegian sector’s?

I know , and you know Andy that it is the same refineries its just the final " mix " that differs . Solvents , aromatics , ethanol and all the other snot and shit that goes in .

Where do they do this final mix? At the same refineries? Potentially this mix 'could' affect a modern large engine, cleanliness, fuel efficiency and octane boosters should you feel the need for that. Nothing I can see that running a chainsaw really needs or will affect it. The octane level in our regular pump fuel is higher than what they have in the US for a start. 

 

Ive ran every single car Ive owned on whatever Pump is closest to me. Generally thats Tesco and the last few new or nearly new cars Ive had has not been affected at all. 

 

If Supermarkets had a higher Ethanol content than the likes of BP and Shell then Id avoid them, but they dont as its all the same fuel.

Got to be a difference somewhere as I get an extra 60 miles to a tank using shell standard diesel then if I fill at the supermarkets I get a lot less to a tank. This is the same for my father as well who has a petrol car.

Yes, different additives. Same fuel. Additives that will not make a blind bit off difference to a chainsaw. 
 

There is nothing in supermarket fuels that will harm any engine out there let alone a chainsaw. Supposedly better detergents in branded fuel, help with emissions and stop you failing the MOT. Never had an issue with this either. 

 

Ive done the MPG thing with both Supermarket and Branded diesel as well. The only time I seen a noticeable difference was with Shell Plus and BP Optimax. But then you’re paying that much more for it. Reading on-line this seems to be the general consensus as well. 
 

I’m not so forgiving with my right foot though. I’m getting 22mpg outta my Jeep whilst the missus gets close to 28. 🤣

I don’t know what the difference is, but if I fill my predator grinder with supermarket fuel it hates it, popping, backfiring or completely giving up. Flush the system, refill with shell, texaco , bp etc and all is fine again. Happened several times from different supermarket stations so too much to be a coincidence. Hence is only use branded petrol in all my machines now
