Interesting Experience.....

talked to a mate that manages a BP in sydney and here are some tips he gave me.

always ask before filling up when the tanker was there to refill as this will stir the old and new petrol and sediment in the tank,

ask how old is the tank for the petrol you want Ie when was it last cleaned and or replaced you will find that stations that have really old tanks will usually have bad petrol in them unless maintained very well,

Friend of mine had issues with petrol from the Mobil station in Epping and found out that a month later they got a new set of tanks so we filled up from them again and no problems afterward,guess you never really know when you gonna hit some bad petrol.

sorry to hear it all fell through, i would of mentioned that you're a well respected member of a large car club and if they wanted to keep 100's of customers they should try and resolve the issue

half the guys who work at petrol stations probably wouldnt know much of the above as sometimes the tanker comes in at 4am and the 1 guy wouldnt be on 24hrs and most likely the information is not passed on down from the night guy or managers. Trust me ive worked at a servo some 7 years ago as for a new tank yeah they would know that as its noticeable.
