When I run Shell here I’m always underwhelmed with the performance and mileage. I get regular diesel at a cheap station near the house that my 3.0 runs really well on. On occasion I run a bottle of Techron Diesel through it, but nothing else. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

I use Costco Premium in my 3.6 TDV8. Cheaper than regular diesel anywhere else and does a good job. |

My tdv8 ran fine for years on regular diesel, but last spring started misfiring. Since then I’ve run it on super diesel and the misfire has gone away, few quid extra per tank is much cheaper than a set of injectors. |

I've always used Tesco fuel without any problems.

Supermarket diesel here. Used to mess around with the super premium stuff from Shell/BP in the old TDV8 for a while but found no difference when I changed back to normal diesel from supermarkets.

used our local Texaco for petrol, had a contaminated batch of fuel, They told us the fuel was supplied by a differnt company,to which we had to claim from them, they also supply Morrisons fuel, as they also had the same batch of contaminated fuel. |

Er, if you buy your fuel from Texaco and there's a problem with it, you beef is with Texaco, not the supplying third party. Your contract is with Texaco, not the third party. Texaco have to chase the their supplier, it's not your job to do so. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I can completly assure you,Texaco completly wiped their hands of it, even told us in the station it had nothing to do with them.we were paid out by the third party.To be honest it was pretty straight forward and they accepted liability.They paid us £450 of the £500 claim we put in.

Wow. I'm amazed the third party paid out but well done for getting most of it back from them.
