    Delivery trucks are "flushed" all the time. Spent most of today inside a alloy tank on a truck that had multiple cracks on multiple dividers in the tank.Petrol and diesel mixing etc. Guarantee when it is put back into service tomorrow there will be at least 2 liters of water on its first delivery.(I just weld up the cracks not responsible for the water)
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Sulphur is the lubrication in Diesel.. low sulphur, less lube.
    Fine for an older Mech injected setup, but I wouldnt run it in a HP system
    We have enough problems with it in Marine engines where clearances are bigger - the wear is greatly accelerated.
    Filled up 1.6 million litres last time we bunkered

    Never fill from a station that has the tanker truck there.....enzymes fuel tests as good ad anywhere else. If you're unlucky you might get a dose of h2o but most of the cases we see are through poor servicing or filling from drums. Common rail diesel systems create huge amounts of heat so the returning fuel to the tank is hot and ad it cools overnight cause condensation the same ad the windows in your house worse in vehicles with a plastic fuel tank. Try to keep your tank as full ad possible too. And dont believe all the scrap the media talk

    E10 is the 91 regular + from memory we run the prado on it, rang toyota they dont recomend more then 3% ethanol but have never had an issue with 10% Ethanol so said it is sweet as to run it

    That was a DP3 Specialised Construction vessel - one of 2 maybe 3 in the world - interesting job when not working on site, but boring as hell once on location.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Not sure about the seals, but the Methanol will mix up with water in the fuel, which won't all get caught by the filter, and can then be bad for the injection system. At least that is my understanding of the main risk, as water in a boat's fuel tank is inevitable.

    I would put the added savings from less wear from NOT using Gull as being worth alot more then $110- more reason not to use it

    Low Sulphur is BAD BAD stuff in modern HP pumps
