If you go on Thorney Motorsport they now have a big notice up saying they no longer recommend tesco and only recommend she'll because of problems...

Just had a quick look , didn't see the shell bit ,
I get the feeling it will transpire to be a sponsorship issue as opposed to a quality / technical issue
Have to see

I should have said that I regulary leave fuel in my tank for periods of time and when I come to log the ECU (which I have done a few times when the fuel has been in the tank just to see) no ignition is being pulled, so with my non technical logic, I would assume there isn't an issue.

I apologise for appearing to burst your bubble..... and of course you're a professional mapper so what do I know about these things!

My fuel strategy / use is no different now then it was 7yrs ago when I 1st bought the previous SPEC C. Never had one single problem. Sorry.

I can backup what Shaun has said. I left v power in my subaru for 6 months without being used and afterwards it ran fine. No timing pulled or any signs of det, both on the det cans and via datalogger.
