Ok, actually like this lah.. A minus point for Caltex pumps.
U know lah Caltex stations are hard to find around Malaysia rite?
I actually don't wanna share this lah cos it might affect u guys' judgement towards Caltex, but I have to say it anyway since KKW is the only one having this Caltex underpowered prob.
I've experienced a few times using Caltex underpowered as well, but only at 1 specific station. But when I pump Caltex at the 1 near my housing area (Taman Melawati), it feels super good. Feels like Caltex.
Here comes the bomb:
I've witnessed a case at the Jalan Genting Klang, near JPJ Caltex where the station attendant added some unknown substance into the fuel reserve. I'm not sure what he added, but to me it seems like water as the thing is transparent and white when seen from far (he poured it in using a pail). Could be kerosene too, I wouldn't know.
Then when I think back, this might explain why I feel my car engine underpowered and noisy when I pump at that particular station only. Then I did some search online and found the same thing being done at a few Caltex stations in K.L. where the attendants adds stuffs into the fuel reserve. And the customers' reviews are often bad, scarring Caltex' reputation. Complaints include sluggish engine, bad engine response, FC high, noisy engine, etc.
So be careful where you pump. No doubt Caltex is a good brand offering great performance, but once you encounter this situation at a particular station, please share with us so that we all can avoid going to the same petrol station.
1st on the list:
Caltex Jalan Genting Klang, near JPJ.
