Gas stations with cheaper fuel prices [continued]

[Dr.Kamiya]

I think you got it wrong. Sulfur actually acts as a lubricant so less sulfur equals less lubricating properties to the diesel which leads to more wear on the pump and injectors. On the other hand more sulfur equals more particulates in the exhaust, thus euro4 diesel has more smoke than euro5 diesel. "Cleanness" therefore is a measure of the sulfur content and not a measure of solid contaminants in the fuel that could cause wear on your engine components. However since philippine diesels are blended with biodiesel this lack of lubrication properties is already addressed. If you are still concerned that biodiesel does not provide enough lubrication then there are additives available.

But yes, it is better to use euro5 for the environment.

AFAIK the biodiesel blend is actually specified in the Euro5 diesel standard. It's listed as the FAME (fatty acid methl ester) content.

Sulfur as a lubricant is myth. Sulfur is not the actual lubricant, but the process of removing sulfur also breaks down certain large hydrocarbon molecules that are the ones actually adding lubrication.

On that note I'm agreed about the need to use additives. I've been using one 250ml bottle of LiquiMoly every 2500kms. The bottle says it's good for 2000kms daw but 2500km is easier to keep track of coz it ends up being two bottles ordered every oil change. I toss one in during the oil change, and the other one after 2500kms.


More on the sulfur thing here: Loss of Lubricity in Diesel Fuel

While most people may be familiar with the microbial problem (Diesel Bug) many underestimate or are unaware of the effects of loss of lubricity caused through the process of removing the sulphur.

Additionally reducing the sulphur levels in fuel decreases the acids formed in engine combustion chambers, offering the promise of extended engine oil life. So, on the face of things the reduction of sulphur is all highly positive in terms of engine wear and tear; however, there is more to it than meets the eye.

Negatives of Removing Sulphur

So if ULSD is so good for the environment and promises extended engine life why are there concerns about using it? As low sulphur emissions became mandatory, fuel refiners have had to develop new technologies to reduce the sulphur content in order to meet the emission standards. The issue is in the refining process used to remove the sulphur. The most cost effective way is to use a chemical process called hydro-processing. During hydro-processing the sulphur in the fuel is removed and replaced by hydrogen resulting in a cleaner burning fuel with improved performance. Unfortunately as hydrogen is a highly reactive element it also reacts with other components in the fuel removing the polar and aromatic compounds that provide conventional diesel fuel with adequate lubricating capability.

ang lakas mangtroll nito si uno fuel station. Few weeks ago nasa 36 something ba or 37 tapos biglang pagdaan ko kagabi eh nasa 34.10!!!!! Binagsak pa talaga kahit minimal lang rollback. As usual haba pila puro taxi. Imagine ilan minutes kada full tank tapos sinasagad pa fill to the brim so baka 5mintues yun minimum. Eh nakakakita pa ako private vehicle like fortuner na grabe naman kakuripot makikigulo pa jan ang tagal aantayin nun.

Kaya ako sa phoenix petroleum pa din nagpagaso at 37.55 pero walang pila. Maganda timpla, sa tancha ko walang ethanol or baka less than 5%

Paging-paging uno..... maglagay kayo branch sa quezon avenue naman para lalo pa buhay na buhay ang true qc !!!!!!

other cities who you kayo !!!!

Susunod kaya mga kalaban within the area sa pricing? Grabe nanaman pila niyan sa Uno.

the other night magpapa-gas sana ako sa uno grabe haba pila halos aabot sa 7/11 (tapat ng bayantel)

so sa phoenix nalang ako nagpa-gas wala customer ako lang

Nagtataka nga ako diyan, similar naman price ni Phoenix, pero haba parin pila sa Uno. Feng Shui kaya yan? Hmmm.

usually ang gumagaya sa pricing ni uno si speedy oil yung malapit sa fisher mall. Kaso hindi ko na napansin kagabi. Ang problema kay speedy eh madilim, kulang sa maliwanag na lighting kaya hind agad makikita. Makulimlim yung ambience.

So lalong hahaba na pila sa Uno? Napansin ko nabawasan na din volume ng sasakyan sa Roosevelt after isara uturn sa EDSA Panorama

maliwanag at fresh tingnan ang uno and the phoenix station looks old and depressing

hehe

dati pinareho ng phoenix ang price niya sa uno pero napansin ko lately mas mahal ang phoenix

pero di ako pipila nang matagal para lang sa konting tipid

yup sabi nga ng pump attendant ng speedy oil ginagaya ng uno presyo nila

Ayaw mo mag unioil sa west ave? Malinis and maliwanag din doon.
