Is it not oil they ship by sea and then refine it after it arrives?

:confused:

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

Yeah or its piped in, they say they bought a tanker of fuel though so seems it could already be refined and ready for sale

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

Not this lot - that's why it was cheaper, it was refined abroad and imported. You're right, most petrol is brought in as oil and then refined here.

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

I don't buy at supermarkets anyway so hopefully it won't get to me, and from what i've read in the last few days I never will, when I buy petrol I want petrol, not 10% eco bio sh*te added made from corn or something

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

Ok thanks, just was curious because I've never heard of petrol being shipped by sea before, obviously they must have some specially adapted tankers for the stuff rather than the standard oil tanker.

:)

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

firstly, they do exactly that, when ale gets burnt, hey mix it with 'good stuff'

Even one tanker(sea going) will drop at one point so why the national distribution of problems???? they don't move fuel around that much from a single site to cause the problems we have. So either its not what they are claiming or we need to have better traceability of where our fuel come from

I don't know why they cant run motorcars off greenhouse gas there seems to be a lot of it about. On a more serious note whoever is held responsible will have a hefty bill to pay, if I had a car I wasn't very fond of I'd stick some in.
The ironic part of this situation is if any affected vehicles were not insured the owners will get nothing, only a clapped out motor.

Some insurance companies do cover this problem you should check your policy for details.

Re: Contamination Or Not ??
 

Theyve found where its been contaminated - 4 of the storage tanks at the depot have silcone in it.

Just been watching the news.

The Boom Town Rats had a hit with Silicine Chips inside my head heading for an overload, Siliocne is a material that is supposed to last forever, used in the medical profession tubes implants etc, easyly recycled but obviously not good for the health of a motor vehicle. Maybe this batch was made on mondays.:D
