    Would there be any difference in the quality of diesel from a high speed truck pump, like the one in tuam, compared to the ones in topaz or Mace up the road?

    Have to fill the audi every week, and truck pump is so much quicker and you don't have to go into shop and queue to pay after.

    Same diesel in every pump. Even marked is the same now, but revenue will make it expensive if caught.

    Do the truck ones not have a bigger nozzle?

    ............

    Absolutely ZERO difference in fuel quality.

    My topaz near work has a pump with a truck button., all it does is speed up fuel delivery.

    Diesel is a min 51 cetane
    Green diesel is a minimum of 45 cetane
    Ane, Circle K plus diesel is a minimum of 54 cetane (read that as 55)

    The spec sheet only says 51 for plus though not 54?

    I have it in writing from Circle K that it has a minimum of 3 extra cetane points.
