Esso petrol contaminated with water or stale petrol

<< < (2/6) > >>

BigAl (Alan):
I use my local Esso garage, no problems to report with the bikes, car & generator

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Imho you can have fuel issues with places that have low fuel turn over or very old storage tanks - not usually a brand issue.

I haven't had a problem with Esso fuel but did have a big problem with BP super unleaded fuel. I filled up a new plastic 5litre container  (there was no crap in the container prior to filling it up). When I got home I poured half the fuel into a spotlessly clean alloy tank. The bike would not start and after a while I checked the fuel in the container. I contained water and a lot of debris. I called the petrol station and they didn't want to know so I posted a review and received replies from others who had the same problems at the same garage.

I had that same problem 2015 my Triumph Trident T160 1975 wouldn’t start one day during winter I told my friend in the triumph club to ask his other friend in the bike club he told my friend to tell me drain all the petrol from the tank and put fresh super unleaded petrol in it the bike started striate away as I always bought petrol from sainsburys and I,ve got the same problem esso don’t want to no they are saying take it up with Greenway even thou esso supply the petrol to greenway so far I,ve drained 8 litres from the car from the pipe that goes to the petrol pump haven’t found any water in it so far or dirt as I used a funnel with a filter in it to pour the petrol into containers as the person I got the car from told me there’s a lot of dirt in the petrol and told me the petrol is contaminated with water up north wales

That’s what that person on YouTube is saying there is kerosene in the petrol it shows him setting a light to it so perhaps that’s what’s in the petrol I bought from esso causing my car not to run right or the E5 petrol is contaminated with E10 petrol as that would cause my car not to run right
