North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Over the last month I have been noticing a change with fuel. We changed from united to caltex at work. Two things happened, one I only fit 22.5trs in can that always held 23 at united and the second one is the caltex ULP absolutely wreaks. I don't sniff petrol but never minded the smell of it but the new fuel is dry different smelling. Is it my imagination or has somebody else noticed this as well.

Depends on when the pumps were calibrated AM. I filled my cruiser up from a place near Palmerston the other day and my cruiser mysteriously took an extra 5 litres more than the capacity of the tank (yes I did take the filler pipe into account). Needless to say I wont be getting fuel from them again. Any way What I am saying is that some places pumps will read differently. They shouldn't but they do.

More surprised by the stench to be honest

Hmm ive always ran vortex premium diesel from caltex. Doesn't seem to smell. Must just be the ULP. Probably vecauae caltex doesn't water it down with ethanol like united.

Because

Ive never seemed to had any problems always running ultimate from bp... Ill stick with that.

Never had any problems with the old mobs fuel it just that the new one smells so different. Seems to use a bit less but very early days ask me in a year. Did I mention the ULP stinks a bit.
