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.

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.

Maybe they generally dont have it in their 98 and this guy sells cheaper diluted stock?

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.

If he knows its e fuel and doesnt mark it...

So why discuss it here instead of with someone that can do something about it?  Huh?

The purpose of the thread was to alert riders, lets leave it at that. PM for anything besides that including action taken.

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.

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!

That's pretty poor form! Hope they get what's coming, that's false advertising!
