    It could be and it might not be. Most fuel in this country is "pool" petrol. Shell might do 2* at their refinery and BP might do 4*. They will swap amounts for the fuel that they are in need of at that moment. At Buncefield they store all types and I will see tankers from various companies make a fill-up visit.

    Your correct on this Kev, it's the same fuel bank..BUT the difference lies in the addition of the magic brew ..directly into the filled up Tankers..afterwards, that separates the" piss" from the "Champagne" petrol wise !!!!! ( ie the supermarket petrol from the Shell/ BP etc..the Shell Nitro being the Don Pere whatsit of the champagnes of course ..and supermarket petrol's being the piss !!! )

    And, as I have said , Shell, Bp, etc..store the petrol in good quality tanks at their stations, and in some cases.. supermarkets don't !

    With 5% ethanol now in ALL petrol..the Tanks are "strained" more than the pre ethanol days..due to the negative effects ethanol has..in petrol tanks etc..actually at petrol stations..not just in you MGB !!!

    " They " ...REALLY want to up the ethanol % in petrol to 10% ...soon !!!
    That's when " the shit will really hit the fan" ..car destruction wise. Hey ho..!!

    P.S. Herman ..
    ISN'T RED X ..rather " last century " ??!!
    My Grandpa used to put it in his Hillman Californian !!!

    Redex is as much last century as the Mustang lump we have in the front

    As far as petrol and additives goes, all petrol comes from the same sources. Additives are added when the tanker fills up.
    Different companies, different mixes but all base petrol has to comply with the applicable standards.

    The same goes for the storage tanks, they have to comply as well and with a supermarket selling (most likely) more fuel, the chances of old fuel in the tanks is slim, as is the chance of water due to the 5% ethanol.

    For an engine that's been around as long as ours and ran on whatever the States called fuel in the 90ties, I'm not to worried
