Where do you buy your fuel?

I buy fuel mostly at in town fuel stations shell in particular.

Just asking since if you are buying from a reputable place that moves a lot of fuel it is usually not really much of a concern. Never hurts to be careful though.

I agree with buying fresh clean fuel, but CR injectors are very sensitive to dirt and will be much happier with filtration down to MK-2.

Thanks for the advice. I think that this is topic that needs to be addressed due to fact that these motors are coming form the factory with very close tolerances that do not like large particle contamination in the systems.
