a few years ago i had an old jag x type, it would never run right on sainsburys fuel. so i used the local shell. and it ran fine.
so nowadays locally i tend to take a trip to the local shell. just my findings. it dont have to be anyone elses
our mitsubishi l200 runs fine on any suppliers fuel.
for the supersports, i use the cheapest leaded pump at the shell garage. with NO addatives. and it runs fine.
as for the other problems, when 5% ethanol came in we had alot of people suddenly getting diaphram problems. it may just be coincidence? we also had more people reporting the brass float sinking, something eating the lead solder. again it may just be coincidence.
but when 10% comes in, ill keep a close check on soldered joints.
