You should do the same test, but with a diesel fuel. I'm really looking forward to it!!!

The quality of the fuel station the fuel is from make a huge difference too. The underground tanks are susceptible to leaks, damage, crud in the tank etc, shell stations vary wildly with their quality, Tesco are more consistent with the quality of their fuel stations and their underground tanks, hence its more consistent. If you have a more modern shell station near you, this won’t be as much of an issue as demonstrated, so best advice is Shell or Tesco from the most modern station local to you

@modermonkula Год назад

Some of the petrol stations near me have got to be 80 years old if not more.

@daWKin548 Год назад

@@modermonkula exactly, had my car tuned in Somerset recently and the Shell petrol station there was effectively a garden shed. No way is the quality of the tanks, the fuel storage and the cleanliness of them anywhere near as good as the modern and recently refitted 16 pump Shell stations near where I live is. I believe Tesco centrally controls the fuel stations so the quality is consistent, whereas Shell stations are franchised so it’s anyone’s guess how good they are

@FalseProfitMusic Год назад

All garages have a lower limit, smaller garages won't go below 500ltrs per tank, on the large supermarkets they won't go below 2500lts per tank. The tanks have water sensors to detect leaks also so you'd be unlikely to have dirty fuel regardless of where you go.

@daWKin548 Год назад

@@FalseProfitMusic there you go, you’ve answered the question. Shell garages can be small so you get contaminants in 500L of fuel rather than 2500L, therefore you’re getting a higher concentration of contaminants per L of fuel at worst than a supermarket

Had my last fiesta st150 mapped (full bolt ons, cammed etc) and made 195hp. Been using it in a few cars and never had an issue. I personally thought Esso 99 was the most consistant.

Although someone with a stage 2+ ST had already sworn by Tesco Momentum for over a year, I doubted it because it was "supermarket fuel" and admit I was wrong. I'm switched.

Always used Tesco 99, Always thought it was the best for the money and it's good to see some data to back that up, since getting a supercharged older car I figured it would be the safest option for knock resistance and peace of mind too, if nothing else. Never figured it would make that much difference or beat Shell on area under the curve though. Awesome vid guys, nice one.

@mafcarvalho Год назад

Awesome content! For real. I wish a Portuguese tuning shop would do the same in our country. We have different fuel brands obviously and also different types of products to choose from. In terms of Petrol there are simple 95, premium 95 and premium 98. The "simple" allegedly don't have any additives or cleaning products. "Premium" allegedly have performance enhancements, injector cleaning additives, etc. They're also supposed to be more efficient in terms of Km/tank. On diesel we also have simple and premium. These ones I would really love to see tested on TDi types of engines. As always great content! I learned a lot from this video. Thank you! 🙌

I bought my 1m 2003 Seat Leon Cupra 1.8T (180bhp / apparently?) and tried 3 different fuels to see how at ran? Firstly on the old E5 95 Ron and my car was down on power. Hardly no boost etc. Then ran Morrisons E5 97 Ron, it a had a little bit more power, but no real gain. Then tried Tesco Momentum 99 Ron, and have never looked back. It pulls like a train from 2,000 rpm all way to 5,500rpm. And goes well under load and I hardly ever have to go down past 4th gear to overtake etc. So I feel my car has been re-mapped. It’s a fun car to drIve. So Tesco Momentum is the best fuel. And a great video Jamie 👍

@caprilaser3 Год назад

Very interesting video. I own a bog standard MK5 Ford Cortina (so the opposite end of the engine spectrum here) and only ever run it on Tesco Momentum 99. This was also words of advice from my local engine repair specialist. Obviously I shouldn’t and wouldn’t run it on E10, but was advised that classic cars (whether converted to unleaded or not) should use the highest octane fuel possible to prevent issues and apparently Tesco 99 is just that. As others have said, would love to see a diesel fuel comparison if possible 👍🏼

@lucasdavison9932 Год назад
