Dunshaughlin near Louth, is it? I know that Campus, and it's also a Spar. I doubt very much that what you're implying should even be allowed on boards.ie

50kms as per google maps

Why should it not be allowed?

The old rule applies, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is!

60 Kms from my house to Louth. I wouldn't see me as being nearish to a border county but I guess this is a small island so ill give you that.

Regardless, this is a Spar, that has been in business for donkeys. At 139 for diesel there is still profit to the retailer. So why do you want to imply there's some law breaking? Do you know the shop at all or are you just finger pointing?

Where am I implying that?

In saying that, I wouldnt let any fuel that cost so much less than it does everywhere else anywhere near a modern diesel engine.

Cheap fuel and an 'offer' that has a time limit. That screams of someone attempting to offload a huge amount of cheap fuel in a very short time. If it was genuine, and obviously assuming innocent until proven otherwise, why the time limit?

I wouldn't take the chance on the possibility of 2k plus repairs on a modern diesel for the sake of saving 20c or something on a fill up.

It may be a genuine offer but those who know the extent of the poor quality diesel in this country and who see its effects time and time again will always be weary.

CampusSS Dunshaughlin

Hello all,

I operate the Campus Service Station in Dunshaughlin that is the subject of this discussion, I was advised of this item earlier in the afternoon by a customer.

I am quite surprised by the comments being posted here without any foundation or knowledge of my business, or the fuel offer that we are currently running. It is extremely unfair and very damaging to a business to have such insinuations cast by nameless people on a public forum.

I have operated this Campus Oil Station since it was built in April 2004, the site is company owned by Campus and all fuels are supplied directly by Campus Oil Ltd, a fully Irish owned company. All our fuel is delivered during business hours by either Campus Oil Rigids or Portway Logistics Artics, and it is all drawn directly from the joint fuel terminal in Dublin Port, this terminal supplies essentially the majority of stations within Leinster.

Our pumps are independently calibrated every year in January, every drop of our fuel is fully traceable back to the source via Schedule 4 documentation, coupled with our Veeder Root (fuel tank gauge system), a secondary guage system for each storage tank. In effect it is completely and utterly impossible for any fuel to be added to our tanks other than from our parent company. If such a thing was attempted it would be notified to Campus practically immediately. Furthermore, we are of course fully compliant with our Monthly ROM1 return direct to the Revenue Commissioners, this return accounts for every litre delivered and its source, matched against every litre sold. Again any discrepancy would be immediately apparent.

Finally, regarding the frankly disgraceful suggestion that we are engaging dumping some sort of spurious quality product to the public; this is a fuel promotion, underwritten by a fuel company, the reason for the promotion is to thank our customers directly for their patience during very disruptive civil works that have been ongoing on the site since mid february, we were forced to operate a one way system and it was very inconvenient for our customers to enter and exit the site. We wanted to thank them, and of course hopefully win back any customer that we may have lost during the works. Its a marketing tactic, not a subterfuge. The very obvious reason for putting a time limit on the promotion is simply that, it is a promotion, we have chosen to run it for the busiest 5 days of our week, Friday-Wednesday, and sorry Mr Oregano but I'm afraid we are not making any profit off this unfortunately

I apologise if I offend anyone with our response, but I run a very professional long estabished business and such conjecture is not fair or justified. Should anyone ever have a concern about a fuel station I'd suggest you just ask them, we would be only too happy to show our systems to anyone with a concern. Like the motorists with cars damaged by illegal fuels, the genuine industry is also damaged by the fuel cowboys.

Best regards,
Philip.

A cut price time limited offer is supsicous now? It's like some people never heard of marketting. If it were near me I'd be over in a shot.
Good luck with it Campus!

Nissan doctor

@campus, Fair play for posting and fair play for defending and explaining the price/reasons etc.

Nobody has any issues with a genuine company doing genuinely good work.

Having said that, leaving aside direct allegations being made about your station, being in the business, surely you can appreciate peoples concern given the scale of the poor quality diesel issue in this country?

Cheap fuel doesn't exist anymore, change title to cheaper fuel;)

rizzee

Maybe I shouldn't have put this up ha... @Campus, sorry if people were mislead I was only posting to spread the word about the cheap fuel ( I do be in multiple times a week) I did not mean for the discussion to turn against you.

_Kaiser_

Just to throw in that I used to be in Dunshaughlin every week (sometimes more than that) and used this station on many occasions without any problems.

Good luck with the promotion.

BMJD

the pic in the first post clearly shows that the reduced price is due to building works, did anyone even bother looking at it??

Ronnie Beck

Building works were queit extensive and it was awkward getting in and out for a while particularly with a van and trailer. This promotion makes complete sense. Bought countless litres of diesel and petrol there over the years and never any problems. The best of the cheaper stations in the area. I'll be back there on wednesday for a fill

Hi Philip,

Fair play to you for posting this here and defending your position.

Don't take exception to what is being said though. It's an unfortunate problem that we as consumers have to tolerate rogue traders selling sub standard products for a quick buck which ultimately causes us massive losses with engine re-builds and the retailer nothing.

Once again, you've set the record straight and fair dues and I'll be sure to support you with a tank in the next day or so.

Near the border Counties means absolutely diddly squat as its nowhere near the actual border. You might as well say Dublin City is near the border.

Are you feeling alright Max?

I wouldn't buy this fuel at any price.







It's too far away to make any positive difference

:pac: you'll have to excuse me. I'm a little slow today after a 14hour shift and drinking all night.

Cheers to the owner coming on to put us all straight. I've been at the receiving end of sub standard fuels in the past too often and I can't let my guard down, can't be blamed for being suspicious

It has a lot to do with it actually.

It's called Contagion and it is wholly reasonable to exercise caution within proximity to the bordering counties.

Cuddlesworth

When a forecourt in the heart of the capital was screwing its customers on Petrol, it helps to be overly suspicious regarding fuel here.

Although the details of your fuel system are interesting. Would that be common practice in all the large brands(applegreen, shell, statoil)?

Are you feeling alright?

Remember all the instances of underfilling/overcharging? And also of washed fuel sold on forecourts?

You'll forgive then the suspicion with which I and others greet these kind of "offers". Usually there is more to it, especially with time sensitive cheap fuel.
