Hi anyone else on here had a problem using esso E5 super unleaded petrol I bought a classic car 3 weeks ago when I collected the car the car was driving lovley he had put 4 gallons of petrol in it then called into a esso petrol station in north wales filled it up with £50.17 worth of E5 super unleaded petrol then after about five miles the car started to backfire from the carburettors causing the car to loose power and coughing and spluttering coming from the twin carburettors and I noticed a bad smell of fumes coming into the car then the problem went away then it started again when I got onto the M54 casing the car to back fire and loss of power causing me to breakdown had to call the recovery breakdown to tow me back home I,ve done a check on a sample of petrol pouring it into a little plastic water boltle to see if it’s contaminated with water but no sighn of water then done a test like someone on YouTube poring a drop into a metal lid off a pedal bin and putting a match to it to see when the flames go out to see if there’s sighn of any moisture but no sighn of moisture but one thing I did notice a lot of black smoke coming off the petrol is this a sighn of stale petrol or it going off the one on YouTube was talking about the esso petrol he used in his car that messed all the jets up in the injection system and someone else told me this when I was in a euro car parts shop he used esso petrol said it messed up all the jets in the injection system so now I,ve got to drain all the petrol out of the tank as the cars not running right I,ve complained to esso customer service but are blaming the retailer where I bought the petrol from even thou it’s sighn posted with the esso logo on the petrol pumps so has anyone else had problems using esso petrol
