sparky370z Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Has anybody noticed the amount of petrol stations undergoing refurbs? Is there some new laws or legislations? Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Got to spend those profits somewhere Quote
sparky370z Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 They are changinging the total garage to a shell. Woo hoo. V POWER!! Plus my drivers card Quote
ThriftyFifty Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Tesco express one here just got refurbed... they were messing with all of the pumps. Perhaps a new law regarding the measurement of pump delivery? Either that or they're installing more accurate pumps to clamp down on us getting free fuel Quote
marzman Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The shell station near me has been refurbed twice in the last year. Both times shut for a week or so with all of the forecourt being torn up. But it looks exactly the same as it did before, so yeh maybe legislation? Quote
smudgedon Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 If you're referring to the ones in wallington and Sutton it's because shell bought Total and rebranded all the old total garages Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 They are changinging the total garage to a shell. Woo hoo. V POWER!! Plus my drivers card Send me the coordinates Mark. Getting hacked off driving to Burgh Heath all the time just so I can open the door wide enough to get out! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 2 shellls near work, opposite sides of the A12, first was done a few months back, upgraded the shop. now the other is being done Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 2 of Shell local to A3 have tank leakages I believe earlier in the year. Maybe they are changing them over! Quote
sparky370z Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 If you're referring to the ones in wallington and Sutton it's because shell bought Total and rebranded all the old total garages Yeah, But there are loads, not just total to shell. Allsorts. I have seen about 15 in the week. Quote

Both times shut for a week or so with all of the forecourt being torn up. But it looks exactly the same as it did before, so yeh maybe legislation? They did the Shell nearest to us and the forecourt was closed too for a week or so, from what I could tell all they did was refurb the shop Quote
Daryl Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 The Total garage 2 minutes form me closed for a week and has opened as a Shell now,its brilliant,dont have to go out my way at all now for V Power. Quote
Stew Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 it's because shell bought Total and rebranded all the old total garages Shell bought the outlet network operated by Total...... So only the petrol stations. Quote
KC350Z Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Its because like already said the pumps are to stop us getting free fuel as they was giving us to much aparently Quote
sparky370z Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 but the thing is, is doesnt seem to be just total garages that are being done. its a bloody pain as quite a few are out where i live. Quote
geoff-r Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Did the Texaco garage by us a few weeks back now that you mention it. Quote
