At this current place, Shell is our one and only option for filling up, i’m finding it quite a pain in the backside, especially with a Volvo FM 400 litre tank.
Would anybody happy to know a good reason to use it over BP for example who have excellent coverage and far better designed sites (generally) in comparison?
Anyone use it, or have any opinions on the network?
Any idea how prices compare?
I don’t think it’s worth using, but i’m sure the boss has his reasons. The last place had the convenience of keyfuels and BP, so it’s taking some adjustment on my part.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Try having Esso fuel cards then ![:open_mouth: :open_mouth:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/open_mouth.png?v=12)
Last place I worked for (on agency) had shell cards but you could use them at BP as well. Is this not the case for all of the shell ones then?

You can use your esso cards at shell as well (or it was like that year ago…)
As for the op: we are using them and i cant complain with coverage and i am driving sprinters. I was struggling only in croatia.
Better tel me where i can use edc card as i did not found the sijgle place yet…
Shell cards were used by a company I worked for because they claimed the VAT back for free, I don’t know if that is still the case though.
I liked the shell card, many sites ( get the Mitchelin Europe Shell map) We had a UTA card as well, but only used that for breakdowns and fuel when no Shell available, shell worked in Esso as well in most countries

When I had Euroshell cards the VAT reclamation wasn’t free but you got it credited back every two weeks. Invoices were issued fortnightly and with each set of invoices you got a credit note for the VAT from the previous invoices minus a small percentage for the reclamation fee. The percentage differed for each country with the countries which were slower in refunding the VAT having a higher percentage.
I’m also sure euroshell are the only fuel company that don’t ask for a deposit, unlike dkv,edc keyfuels etc.
Cheers for the replies folks ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)

Good actually, I mean I broke the first two until I realised how to work them.
Numbers 3, 4 and 5 are now full of diesel and strapped to my catwalk, because I can never find a bleeding Shell station ![:wink: :wink:](https://emoji.discourse-cdn.com/twitter/wink.png?v=12)
Dragging this steel around with hanging meat, really burns through the diesel.
