Fuel gauge dropping into the red, so I stopped at small petrol garage en-route to Norwich. I just put in 15L, and continued on my way, to find 4 miles later the Q wasn't running well and kept cutting out at low revs. Several restarts and on my journey home I again called in the petrol garage to report the situation, where I was told they'd had no other 'complaints' but they'd had a delivery yesterday! Hmm. We'll wait and see. Continuing on homewards it was bad all the way until the local Sainsburys where I brimmed the tank. 3 Miles further on when I reached home the car was running fine. So it looks like there was a poor fuel, the effects 'diluted' by adding the good fuel? Thankfully I hadn't filled the tank at the first station. Maybe a 'tip' to never fill fully from one station just in case? It reminded me of when 'Formula Shell' was sold with masses of publicity in the 80's and I put some in my Morris Marina (don't laugh) to find 2 miles on it pinked like mad at low speed/high load. Again, by flooding the tank with Esso fuel all was ok. Shell paid out 10's of £000's to owners of Vauxhall cars with ruined engines, and 'Formula Shell' was deemed a poor marketing move.
