    I may be in the wrong thread so apologies in advance:)
    Is there any difference in the quality of fuel brands around the country? E.g topaz, texaco, maxol etc. P.s im referring to diesel.
    Has anyone had any bad experiences?
    Many Thanks guys!

    Plenty of threads on this already.
    I'll summarise.


    Texaco is best
    Tesco is shyťe
    TOPAZ is great
    Maxol is the best
    Texaco is carp
    Tesco is good
    TOPAZ is carp
    It's all the same
    AppleGreen is good
    AppleGreen is bad
    GreatGas is great
    Green diesel is good
    Emo is good
    It's all different
    AMBER is good
    Emo is bad
    Amber is bad
    Green diesel is bad

    Etc

    Are here any objective measures?
    Is it all the exact same every time or does it vary in quality from the same providers?

    It's all personal fables really. For example I had a fuel pump go while I was using Station X - Now I'm going to tell everyone that station has terrible fuel! Nothing to do with the fact the fuel pump has 250k+ miles on it, no no! TERRIBLE FUEL!

    As I said, lots of threads on fuel quality, and what I've posted above is what I think is a relatively accurate synopsis of the outcome of those threads.

    Best to use the search function.

    Yeah I am closing this OP.
    You're asking the same question as have been asked and answered many many times.

    If you have concerns about diesel in a specific county the feel free to ask for recommendations of places to buy fuel.
