    Hi, Bought almost a full tank of Diesel in Charleville yesterday and about 1 minute after driving out of the forecourt my car was losing power when accelerating.
    It will now not go over 100km per hour

    Anybody else have any issues with fuel bought in Charleville?

    I have got petrol at both the petrol stations on the main road there never any problem.

    I'd be very surprised if it was the fuel but then again Charleville is a crime hotbed

    I Meant to reply earlier.. I got it checked out by main dealer mechanic.

    They said it was poor quality fuel in their opinion causing the issue and that it will work it's way out eventually and to put some diesel additive in the tank.

    I think I'll be sticking to well known brand diesel in future.

    Used to be an oil tanker driver, all oil companies have to buy over 50% of their fuel from the Irish refinery, all the different companies trucks line up one behind the other and all the diesel comes from the same pipe. Unless the tank at the station is dirty there's no difference in the fuel.
