Bulk buying white diesal

[doobin]

All this faffing around to save a penny a litre. If you use 100 litres a day, that's a hell of a lot of fuel. And you're still only saving a pound a day...

 

Just fill up wherever's on the way. The deciding factor if there has to be one should be the quality of the breakfast butty available at the same time.

The saving is just a bonus really, it's the getting one statement and one monthly payment and not loads of fuel receipts in the trucks, that I prefer.

Around here it's all microwave rubbish anyway

And another thing, supermarkets can and do put a much higher percentage bio in there fuel and legally don't have to tell you. My old truck used to chug a bit of black smoke when pulling hard, this seemed to reduce when using shell fuel.

Im also not convinced its that what killed the Bosch vp44 injector pump in my old van. I couldn't prove it as it did have 244,000 miles on the clock, so it got baled!

One thing i do get precious about is cleanliness and quality of fuel.

Ok, rant over, sorry.

Bosch are generally fine with bio, even SVO. It's Lucas pumps which disagree with it.

 

I killed a Lucas pump with one tank of SVO once!

It is not all about money, convienience for those of us who have secure storage and improved efficiency by not having 3 blokes waiting in the truck while you que for fuel. Appreciated not for everyone of course.

Do as I do and get the grounds maintenance around the filling station

Our old 150 bhp vito run sweet on shell, two tanks of morrisons and it sounded like a bag of nails. Next fill of shell back to normal. I think I pay about £1.10 + vat on the shell card at the moment.
