No berwick BP?

Checked just for you, Berwick is tomorrow's run and is 14,000 litres so a fairly good amount, 8000 is low and 24,000 is very good. Has a note on there saying "AM Request" so would say head down late morning and the driver has 2 drops before it. It is a special Ultimate delivery, no other product.

Got to scoot, g/f getting angry as we are running late! Will respond to any others in the morning.

From what I understand it pretty much all comes out of MOBIL Yarraville? I'm in the transport industry ( not fuel ) and always will chat to a tanker driver when filling up the truck and they all say its the same shit coming out of Yarraville.

Last one I spoke to did say that Shell tries to use there own as much as possible as they have there own tank in Yarraville thats fed from a pipeline from the Geelong refinery but if its empty then it will be someone elses fuel going in.

For all the westies on here, next time your going over the bridge take a look down to the left in Mobil where the tankers park and notice the different brands all parked in the same place. Then notice the huge tanker painted up as BP ULTIMATE in the middle of Mobils property. (same tanker was painted up as optimax couple years back)

I said earlier, they all come out of same refinery but I should have said terminal, that being the Mobil Yarraville one but each company still have their own refinery. Mobil are not the sole creators of all fuel as you said Shell is in geelong however BP's refinery is in WA. The Mobil refinery in Altona delivers it's fuel to the Yarraville terminal via pipeline. The terminal (under the westgate bridge) is co owned by BP which is why you'll see their trucks in there. The fuel get brought into the tank farms via pipe (shell and Mobil) and via ship for BP and interstate and OS fuels.

Bonus for the Mobil terminal is it is on Preemo land that it has had since the 20s, it's right in the shipping lanes.

filling up at chady asap haha

Some interesting points above.

I work for the parent company of the largest fuel and gas distributor (80%) here in Oz and have done a lot of work with BP, Shell and Caltex directly hence why I receive their schedules daily. One of my projects has been automating them via a custom mobility solution to each truck.

The trucks you see below the Westgate bridge are ours, that is our Spotswood depot. We have trucks labelled with our company name, the parent company name and also the customer's name e.g BP & Shell.

Interesting link above, thanks for posting.

If you car has been tuned to run 98 then fill up with any 98. United 98 is fine!!!!

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

In reguards to saff cossie post, I actualy saw 2 tankers / trucks, taking the BP Ultimate fuel on the Westgate bridge this morining at like 3-4am today.

I think Doncaster and Templestowe BP still had the Ultimate in stock.

[bluejeans]

I went to doncaster and templestowe bp thats where it was out of ultimate for me - I drove past today though and yeah they seem to have it >,<

[SS8_Gohan]

Cars not designed to run on high octane fuel and not TUNED to run on that fuel can run better on lower grade fuels. Why is this so hard to beleive. I think the marketing guys at the petrol companies have done a great job convincing ppl to run fuels they dont need.

[SS8_Gohan]

i saw R34 and thought turbo, and the sticker on my car says 98 or higher, so i would say that is what it's "designed" for. Considering Japan gets even higher grade fuel, i would have thought 98 is where you want to start

I heard that you can get 100 octane pump fuel in Japan. I know a few years back there was something called Shell Optimax Extreme or something, rated at 100 octane but it had 5% ethanol in it.... Can we get real 100 octane in Oz?

[saff_cossie]

Shell V Power Racing is/was 100 RON but its getting harder to find it now. Punt Rd Shell used to stock it, it has the ethanol in it, will chat with the guys and see if we still deliver it as I havent seen a schedule for it for a few weeks at least.
