From Petron to Shell

**20vanda01** · May 20th, 2003 12:56 PM

Guys, share ko lang... since day 1 i've been using Petron Diesel Max as fuel on my Crosswind for 9.5 months. Last Friday, malapit na akong mag-empty and napilitan akong magrefuel from a Shell station with Diesoline Ultra. Napansin ko mas naging mabilis ang hatak, at maganda ang response agn ride ko. Hindi ko alam kung psychological effect lang ito, pero tama ba ang observation ko? Share naman jan, para kung 2loy 2loy na ako sa sa paggamit ng Shell diesel or balik ako sa Petron Diesel Max.

psychological lang siguro. i had tried the diesels of the big 3... caltex, shell and petron, and even flying V and Total. although I'm on shell diesoline now (shell ang fleet card ko e), petron and shell diesel usually gives almost the same acceleration. ang alam ko na malakas humatak caltex diesel. I think it has something to do with the sulfur content. pinakamataas sulfur content ng caltex, if I remember correctly from our old board (sa ezboard). having a higher sulfur content gives more lubricity, but at the same time, more pollutant. ewan lang ngayon na shell has improved their diesel.

ang isa pang observation ko, when your tank is almost empty, parang mahina na hatak, then pag nag full tank ka. lakas uli ng hatak. siguro mas hirap yung suction ng fuel pag konti na laman ng fuel tank unlike pag puno, meron pang hydraulic pressure effect yung fuel sa tanke kaya madali ang fuel suction papunta sa fuel injectors.

rsnald,

Ang tawag diyan ay pagtatampo.... tignan mo pag madumi sasakyan mo bigat nang ride mo pero after cleaning gaan gaan..

The same is true sa Tank.... pag wala na laman... parang ayaw humatak pero pag pinunuo mo lakas pa sa kabayo..

IMO, from Caltex to shell ako.... nung lumipat pa lang ako medyo di maganda ride at medyo visible ang usok pero after three straight Shell na karga ko ganda na and at the same time... "THERE IS NOSMOKE, GOING UP SPECIALLY YOU HAVE TO HAVE POWER"

kaya sabi ko kay Mrs... Shell na tayo wag Caltex

cge subukan ko rin mga at least 3 full tanks ng shell, baka gumanda ang perf like master boknoy experienced.

i agree with Lord rsnald and president boknoy. ive tried all three before and decided on shell diesoline also. i would say halos pareho lang ang hatak. may edge man siguro ang shell konti lang. pero pagdating sa emission, worst ang caltex. sa mileage naman, im now doing 10 to 11 km/liter city driving and shell lang lagi karga ko.

Just browse Shell Phil's website there you'll appreciate its effect better. Compared with the other local diesels in the market.

tanong lang po.. okay lang ba mix diesel.. shell fan kasi ako eh kaya shell diesel din gamit ko he.he.he meron kasi times na 1/4 na lang yung gas ko tapos sa caltex or petron ako inaabot.. so dun na ako minsan refill. may effect ba ang mix diesels...?

marwen,

Ok lang po i-mix ang different brands ng diesel. Huwag lang gasoline.

Ako I currently use Caltex since it's the cheapest of the brands along my daily route. I have previously used other brands on my Strada and they all perform the same.
