If anyone knows where there's some BP Ultimate diesel available in Perth Right now then let me know.
Haven't filled up for weeks and have only just found that you can't currently get BP Ultimate diesel in Perth at all. Rang and spoke with a guy from the BP technical dept. Apparently there are issues along the fuel production line concerning adding the injector cleaners and other additives that are in the fuel. BP have halted production until the issues can be sorted out, meaning we're all back to the previous standard diesel BP sold before Ultimate came out. Interestingly, the guy I spoke with said that in terms of cetane levels the BP standard diesel can often be similar to ultimate in any case. It's just that BP have managed to make the cetane levels more consistent with ultimate, and shouldn't fall below certain levels. Another thing I was told. The production line issues are related to increasing the production of BP ultimate diesel so it can be rolled out in other states.
So, just putting it out there. If anyone in Perth knows where to get BP Ultimate diesel at the moment then I'd like to know.
Edit: Interesting article with a bit of info about diesel fuels in Aus.
