Bulok na Dealers ng Petron Diesel

[altec]

Nag fuel knock ang 2003 kia sedona ko, 3 units fuso canters, namamatay ang isang fuego at crosswind namin din. When I shifted my kia to shell, the canters, fuego and crosswind to another supplier, nawala ang mga problema. We get diesel as an industrial account. The suppliers reassure us that automotive grade diesels ang sinusupply nila. Was surprised to hear that petron diesel is only 54 cetane! Other suppliers claim 56 cetane. I doubt if that particular diesel reached 54 kasi nag fuel knock. Muntik na buksan ng Kia ang injection pump ko. While waiting for approval to claim under warranty, I happened to load with a Shell gas station. After using the car several days after, biglang napansin ko nawala ang fuel knock, mas maganda ang hatak. Crosschecking my records, na identify ko Petron yung source, similar with the other vehicles.

To be fair, we have loaded petron on other occasions. But never experienced this bad a result. The problem here is for such a big company, I expected their quality control to be way up there. But gulat ako when I told Kia of my theory that the knock is identified with the use of Petron diesel, sabi ng Kia sa akin they have received several complaints from other Kia users of problems associated with petron diesel!

Plano ko pa man din ilipat ang company fleet card namin from shell to petron dahil sa petron fleet card, meron 0.75% rebate plus points system to earn prizes. Di na bale. Mas mahal masiraan ng injection system.

dude,try mo other petron stations.

im using petron for the past 3 years already.no problem whatso ever.

baka binabahan yang pinagkukunan niyo...or madumi talaga supply nila.

[Bogeyman]

I've been using Petron diesel ever since I got my ride from the casa. No problems din whatsoever.

[boybi]

Petron din ako palagi dahil dun ang company account namin. no problems din.

baka yung particular na petron station lang na yun ang may problema. some dealers kasi sources from other independent distributors dahil mas mura, pero hindi naman assured ang quality.

[BlueBimmer]

all our trucks/pickups be it 6, 10, 18 wheeler all use petron diesel. la pa naman kme naencounter na problem like that. i think that problem lies with your particular station.

ang dami palang petron users dito

We have our own company diesel tank. We do not get exclusive from any supplier. It so happened that we encountered all these problems with that particular delivery. Before that and after that, wala. Yung duda ko with our own tank, that's why I loaded with the shell station that I get from if I don't load from our company tank. But even my innova has already loaded from our company diesel tank but hindi na petron yung laman, wala naman na experience na ganun. So much more with the other vehicles I mentioned, nawala yung mga problema after naubos namin ang petron sourced diesel. Over 5 years ago, we were exclusive petron, but we changed to non exclusive because of price considerations. But we never experienced a problem like this. With petron gas stations, marami naman ang ok, pero marami din luma na ang gas stations, as compared with shell and caltex. You guys are right, there are good petron stations around. But there are also plenty of bad eggs. It's just that petron has to be more consistent with their quality control, whether it is the fuel they supply, or the gas stations they have. And I don't speak about this particular experience of mine. I have a close relative that is a Petron gas station dealer. And I don't get from that station because I have personal info that will make me go buy from another gas station. Same with another petron gas station run by a friend of mine. That friend of mine does not operate the gas station anymore, nahuli yung kalokohan niya. Our company consumes over 25,000 liters of diesel every month, plus a similar amount of bunker fuel.

So if you have a good reliable source, maintain that. Yung sa akin lang, I can identify the source of the problem. I am waiting for the petron industrial account officer to visit me, pero hindi ako siniputan sa scheduled naming meeting.

By the way, our san juan office and residence exclusively loads from petron gas station near king crab house in p guevarra for over a decade. No problems there.

so can we change the thread title to, (may mga)Bulok (na)ang (dealers ng) petron diesel....

Altec, we come from similar situations. we own a public transpo company so we have petron diesel delivered to our very own pump within our "garahes". Yun ang gamit namin sa lahat ng diesel engines namin sa house which numbers around 8 vehicles (mostly delivery vans) and my old pickup. ive never had any problem with the petron diesel though.
Although, my tita once made an ocular sa pandacan station ng mga different oil companies and she told me that most of the diesels are the same, companies are even passing it around to other competitors if they become low on supply. Im guessing you either got an unlucky batch. could happen to any company.

[Renelmac]

almost all stations have their own gimmick, in the end its us the consumers who lose..sayang...
