Title: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 18, 2016, 12:05:32 AM Just letting you all know that the United servo at Glenburn Vic is selling 98 PULP with ethanol in it but without the required sign on the bowsers.
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: gino on January 18, 2016, 12:34:45 AM That is really wrong and pisses me right off!
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: monsta on January 19, 2016, 04:29:10 PM are they allowed to do that?
How did you find out? Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 19, 2016, 04:40:55 PM I found out from employees who I cant identify, but documents at the servo confirmed it. They have the info on hand regarding each type of fuel right there at the console. No excuse and clearly premeditated. Pumps gotfa have e fuel sign for the consumer.
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: GK on January 20, 2016, 02:23:26 AM Website makes no mention of it in their 98 product!

Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: GK on January 20, 2016, 03:41:49 AM I doubt that. If he was deliberately diluting it, why would he provide that info to his workers? Better not to say a thing and his workers would give the good news of no ethanol being in their 98 blend.
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 20, 2016, 04:17:39 AM He probably said nothing except the info for the tanker to fill the right tank.
If he knows its e fuel and doesnt mark it... Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: ducpainter on January 20, 2016, 04:36:23 AM So why discuss it here instead of with someone that can do something about it? ???
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: GK on January 20, 2016, 04:43:42 AM Just venting DP, just venting! Lol!
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 20, 2016, 07:28:20 AM The purpose of the thread was to alert riders, lets leave it at that. PM for anything besides that including action taken.
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: GK on January 21, 2016, 12:44:29 AM I called Mobil today to check if their 95 and 98 at 7 Eleven is free of ethanol.
The relevant dept was too busy to take the call. I'll try again tomorrow. Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 21, 2016, 12:59:16 AM Pms sent out re action taken on the matter.
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: GK on January 21, 2016, 11:35:39 AM PM read. Good job!
I need to get an answer now from Mobil, as I'd like peace of mind on what I'm getting from that mob too! Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: Nibor on January 26, 2016, 11:24:50 PM That's pretty poor form! Hope they get what's coming, that's false advertising!
Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: madalf71 on January 27, 2016, 11:49:18 PM That information should be in the MSDS.
Which is freely available............ Title: Re: Hidden Ethanol in 98 Fuel Post by: koko64 on January 28, 2016, 12:20:51 AM Gday Alf.
Yep, but it didnt match what was on the bowser. Pm sent. Ethanol is a big political issue in the US, so Ive pmed you. ;) Might get that way here too. |
