Puma fuel

We have used Puma diesel in quite a few places whilst touring QLD and had no issues. Their website indicates they supply mining companies and they have import terminals in 3 QLD cities with a Perth terminal under construction.

The website also indicates they bought out Matilda and Nuemann fuels.

hope that helps

Puma's website says they provide 20% biodiesel but doesn't say if this is at all outlets or a select few. Click on this link then expand the Diesel section.

PUMA Diesel

I drive a Toyota 200 Series. Toyota won't honour their warranty if more than 5% bio is used. I won't go near a diesel outlet where there is doubt over the bio component.

I use BP or Caltex.

I've been using Puma fuel ever since Gingers in Perth changed, with no issues. This is in an old mechanically injected engine though.

BP when I can get it but as our only option is Shell in Sydney that isn't often

Puma has installed a new large terminal where I live and all their gear is in good condition, they have also bought up many survive stations in the area and refurbed them.

Don't worry about the 20% bio diesel as this will be marked on the pump and standard diesel should be available.

From what I was told, they are an American show and are moving into Australia. They brought the burnt down BP truckstop at Marlborough and rebuilt it but I stopped pulling up there when they jacked up there food prices.

I used to use BP Ultimate Diesel exclusively because I thought it was the best. I still do, but BP's customer service at my local has put me off them.

I realize this is off topic, however:

My wife and I went into our local BP back in May on my motorbike to fill up (petrol). My wife took her helmet off, went into the shop with cash waiting to pay. I stayed at the pump and started to fill up, with my helmet ON.

A screaming banshee came over the PA system and told me to take my helmet off and immediately shut down the pump.

I went inside and asked her to justify her actions. I pointed out that my wife was already inside, helmet off, cash in hand; I wasn't likely to do a runner.

She said it's the rules. I said BS, the sign at the pump says motorcyclists should not sit on the bike while filling. Nothing about helmets, except don't wear them inside the shop, and my wife wasn't.

I put this complaint on BP's website twice since May with no response whatsoever.

My local Caltex doesn't have a problem with helmets, especially on riders who are obviously old farts trying to deny the aging process.

BP won't see my money again, good diesel or not.
