[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 58641, member: 1026"] Its rather interesting as most people tested different brands and have their own personal preferences. I think the quality of the Petrol Station tanks is important, some stations have very dirty tanks so your fuel filter will have problems filtering out the junk to give a smooth clean flow of fuel. Some stations had water contaminated petrol and your engine coughs for no reason, sometimes and clean up again. I think the rule of thumb is to fill from a known station as often as possible and do that the day AFTER the tanker arrives to fill up their tanks!. Takes a day for the gasline impurities to settle down. The day before the tanker refill is also bad becuase lower level tanks means more gunk in the petrol!. Some also say, don't fill during or after rainny days as water seapage will get into the tanks. I find Caltex very decent in quality. At least very consistent. Urban legend ?. Common sense, I think.
