Laxed out rides

I could make Rags and back. Caltex Dinsdale 10.00 - 10.30am?

I've stopped filling up at dinsdale caltex. My bike might just be sensitive to crap fuel but about 20km after filling up there my bike started spluttering and losing power. I drained the gas, switched to reserve (which was full of bp gas luckily) and filled the main tank at the next station and she's run mint ever since.

Interesting. I usually always fill up at Caltex (because I live right next to one) and my bike often splutters and struggles on cold, damp mornings. Always put it down to the weather, but I might try refueling at BP for a few weeks, see if that helps.

I've filled up at that caltex quite a few times before and it's been fine. But I got a bad batch and when there are other options, bridges burn fast. I know gas stations need to test their fuel for moisture levels (all petrol has water in it) if there is too much water in the petrol they should pick it up and rectify it. I'll take my business to a company who checks their fuel better. And I'm a big spender on petrol(I spend about $20 per week ).

I don't often fill up there - just happen to live over the road so it is a good meeting place. Can't say I've ever had a problem when I have used their fuel though.

Interesting, 91 or 95?

I've been using Caltex predominantly as that it is what is closest.

Haydee, I have the opposite problem, the speedie runs like crap whenever I put BP in it but mint on Caltex......

I've always had a negative thing with Caltex. I always get that dirty feeling with them (and I think they're slow to adapt business wise). Never liked their fuel but it's more than likely a placebo thing. Pretty much use Shell with BP than Mobil as the back ups. Brooke's not a fan of Caltex as well. Dunno what her excuse is.

I've been filling up there pretty much every week or so for the last 8-years and never had a problem, sounds like a random event, could happen anywhere.
