Interesting stuff. Odd how so many peeps know it's going to cost 5 grand to fix, but not one of them can give an accurate explanation of what the problem is.
This sounds like a likely scenario.
"This is an issue with a tanker cleaning solution being left in contaminating the diesel which is negligence on behalf of Tesco.
The issue about Tesco diesel being of poorer quality than branded is a different discussion. it must meet minimum standards. The premium diesels have additives such as Cetane improver and BUTOXYETHANOL which is an injector cleaner."
And it looks like the Tesco shills have found the comments section
"A lot of misinformation or misguided belief in many of the comments here. There is nothing wrong with the quality of Tesco fuels, and it does not come from any old refinery, whichever is the cheapest, as has been suggested. All Tesco fuel is sourced from a single refinery in, I believe Essex; the name of the company is Greenergy and they have an exclusive contact to supply Tesco. Their fuel is actually to the highest standards, and unlike some companies, they publish data sheets about their products which can be accessed online. Tesco super unleaded is actually to a higher standard, with an octane rating of 99, than most other company's equivalent except for Shell. These engine problems are solely the result of bad "housekeeping" at the Branksome filling station which has resulted in a contaminant getting into the fuel; as such it is obviously for Tesco to sort out this particular problem, but the quality of the fuels generally should not be questioned!"
Seems the knifes are out for Tesco, what with the inflated profit warning, and suspended directors this morning.
Still wouldn't mind a day of their profits though.
