Shell FuelSave - Didn't Work For Me!!
If you have been past a Shell garage recently you will have noticed massive banners shouting FuelSave at you.
I was taken in by the 'save a litre of fuel with each tank full' So I though what the heck and went for it, that and Shell are pretty cheap too.
My tank (of Diesel) was running virtually empty and I filled 11 litres up (didn't want to fill it to the top as it was before payday and it would have cost me £50+ of which I don't have).
After about 1 hour my car became very lumpy, the turbo didn't kick in and it randomly lost acceleration.
The car felt totally different to what it did only 1 hour ago and did so for the next 4 days until I managed to drive it like a nutter to get rid of the fuel so I could put some bog standard Morrisons own brand Diesel which I have used on numerous occasions and never had a problem.
Since filling it up (to the brim) the car is almost back to normal. As Shell have decided to replace their standard fuel with FuelSave, I will no longer be using them.
Munk.
