New Petron Turbo Diesel Fuel [MERGED]

[miko101130]

guys just want to ask your experience and comments regarding the new fuel being sold by petron. They call it Turbo diesel fuel which is priced at four pesos higher than the regular diesel max...

Saan nakakabili nito? Wala pa yung Petron sa amin.

I am not into that kind of Marketing come on.....

smart way to convince owners of turbodiesel vehicles to pay more for fuel

Kaya ka nga nag-diesel,- (isa sa mga dahilan) para mura ang fuel (vs. gasolina).

Tapos, heto ang Petron at ilalapit ang presyo ng diesel sa gasolina in the altar of selling it as a turbo diesel? Ano sila? Hilo?.... :twak::bwahaha:

Unfortunately for sure dami maloloko yan once it is sold in more stations. And once the other oil companies notices it, they will surely follow.

kung sasabihin nilang mas mababa ang sulfur content nito at mas mataas ang euro rating kahit hanggang 3 man lang at hindi katulad nung euro 3/4 na binebenta nila ngayon.....why not?

pero based daw dun sa sinasabi nung gasboy...hehe...may additives lang...so malamang parang techron D lang yan...

I guess we will see the "selling point" of the new diesel fuel once the media push for their new product gets underway.

If it's a cleaner diesel (less carbon, etc), that should be a big plus for people to use it.

[shakatak70]

^^ yup if it has less sulfur content and much cleaner why not pero kung kaunting additive tapos change of product name for the sake of commercial gain by the oil company... uh-um yung dating diesel na lang

Let see kung ano ba talaga ang pinagkaiba ng turbo diesel compared sa regular blend nila

[uls]

i'm sure dami kakagat dyan

lalo na yung mga kakabili lang ng brand new turbodiesel na sasakyan

syempre, only the best for the new baby

[shibby75]

might be a more cleaner (purer) version of their diesel. CRDI engines would benefit more from this.

[locoroco777]

^^Wait and See mode again as usual.....

I heard that SEA OIL has been selling diesel sourced from Singapore.

Its said to be cleaner and results in less smoke at the tailpipe.

Any truth in that?

Yan yata yung Euro 4 na sinasabi But I haven't tried it....but I think its just available in some selected stations only....kasi yung Seaoil dito samin parang mas malinis pa yung kulungan nung Dogs ko eh....

[uls]

Seaoil sources its supply from Singapore, China, Korea

they also source locally (Bataan, Olongapo)

it all depends on market forces

Seaoil gets ethanol from Brazil

Kung totoo ngang Euro IV eto then ok lang to gas up with this one because to be honest we are killing our CRDi slowly but surely with the crap they sell here...

sana nga ang mahal magpaservice ng crdi pag wala na sa warranty niya just because of dirty diesel

Also, if some are patronizing Petron Diesel booster (Php64.00) for every fill up, why not on this? Teka makahanap nga na makatikim naman yung Crosswind ko

Other option is PTT. It is one of the wholly owned subsidiary companies in the Philippines of Petroleum Authority of Thailand Public Company Limited (PTTPLC). If your commonrail came from Thailand, why not on this as well.

i think there's only one way to check its real world effects. gas up completely with this product then put it in a dyno test and emission test comparing it with your baseline regular diesel fuel. i guess that's the only way to accurately and objectively measure its effects, but as it claims it has injector cleaners so maybe using it once a month could have beneficial effects especially on diesel engines with turbo

I doubt they are Euro 4 compliant. Wala namang market experience or sales exposure ang Petron sa European fuels market, kaya palagay ko wala silang capability na gumawa ng Euro 4 compliant diesel. I would trust the big 3 oil companies more - Exxonmobil, Shell, and Chevron in coming out with diesel fuel na imarket dito sa Pilipinas. Sa costing ng blend ng fuel, ang malaking cost differentiator ay ang additive na 8% by wt (typical). Syempre, low sulfur ang base fuel dahil mandated ito sa Clear Air Act, so maaring magkaparehas lang ang mga oil companies sa pag cost nila sa base fuel. Ang big 3 companies na ito ay may sariling subsidiaries na nagreresearch at nagbebenta ng mga additives: Oronite sa Chevron, Infinium - J/V ng Shell at ExxonMobil. Dahil sa economies of scale, napapababa ng mga big oil company ang presyo nila ng additives. Kaya it does not necessarily mean na ang bagong Petron ay mas high quality kung presyo lang ang babasehan. At syempre ang fuel techonology ay proprietary. Gumugugol ng maraming test hours sa test rigs ng engine na Mercedez, Volvo sa Europe, GM, Ford Crysler sa US bago nila irelease ang bagong fuel formula. Wala namang ganyan ang Petron dito sa atin. Marahil, binili lang nila ang technology sa ibang kumpanya, at syempre di naman ibebenta ng oil companies ang "crown jewel" nilang fuel technology. Kaya sa aking palagay, marketing gimik lang ng Petron na itaas ang presyo para sa "snub appeal," o di kaya gusto lang nila mabawi sa madaling panahon ang nagastos nila sa pagbili ng formulation (halimbawa Aramco).
