Does anyone know if there are any BP service stations in
Melbourne that have Ultimate Diesel?

Every
BP servo has Diesel, Ultimate ? Maybe
Big BP just near the end of the Hume, and the rest are everywhere.
Ultimate ?????.... Not so sure it's as good as their was 10 yaers or so back.
I have been told that Shell have the best diesel at present.
Our Patrol runs best on Shell at the moment,.
Funny thing is that they all line up at the refiineries, and fill up out of the same bulk tank.
You go work it out, I cannot.
Cheers

According to the BP Site Finder, the closest BP Ultimate Diesel to
Melbourne is Victor Harbour in SA.

Above is a plan of the refineries in Australia - obviously every company does not have a refinerery in every state - they must get fuel from each other to supply their company owned service stations - eg shell servos in
Brisbane must get their fuel from either BP or
Caltex or import direct refined fuel from Simgapore. As Bucky says they all line up and get their fuel from the same bulk tank.
I doubt there is any difference between Ultimate diesel, Votex diesel or any other diesel - unless the companies are putting additives into it while in the delivery tanker...

Hi Wamuranman, You are close to the money re the borrow and loan system between state refineries. Firstly the ship that brings the fuel into the ports just starts pumping with the first oil company in line getting the fuel first, then when they have reached their quota they shut off the valve while the next oil company in line opens their valves and they get their quota and so on, etc. However the oil company that I was with would only inject their additives at the actual fill stand where the trucks would load, and if a foreign truck came in to load they would usually go back to their terminal and put their additives in. If it was a truck carrying to independent stations they would not get any additive at all. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.
Cheers, Bill M
