Nope. When I was reviewing COQs of fuel sourced from Petron, same specs lang as others. 51-55 cetane depending on the batch.
There was a time when Petron-sourced fuel failed our testing, but it was probably just a bad batch since at the time RMP2 just completed.
Shady ang quality control ng Unioil. Have you been to their depot? No match sa depots ng mga multinationals.
And besides, they're one of the biggest technical smugglers in the country.
Kaya impressed ako sa kanila nung nauna sila magmarket ng Euro 4. Nagkaron ng cult following sa mga car forum. Although based on real market data, they didn't hurt the major players one bit.

I'm sure Unioil has stations that are well-run naman. I've filled up with them several times before when they were the only ones offering Euro 4 diesel, and nothing bad ever happened to my car.
As I've said many times before, fuels are 99% the same, usually nagkakatalo lang talaga sa additives and how the fuels are handled when they are delivered and stored in stations.

Jut, how about asphaltene-like particles suspended in diesel? Do these come from the fuel itself or are they from dirty fuel tanks at the station?
Reason I ask is there seems to be some of these particles regardless of where I fill up. But some brands/stations have a bit more than others.

These are usually sediments that settle at the bottom of the underground tanks in the station. Whenever stock levels are low, the fuel in the tanks usually gets stirred up and may end up getting sucked up by the dispenser and into your car.
Older stations usually have years worth of sediments in their tanks, so even if we have cleaner diesel now, that could be a remnant of previous years' fuel. It's not all that harmful because your fuel filter will take care of it. Unfortunately, tank cleaning is very expensive and is usually done when more serious contamination happens.
To avoid sediments in your diesel, best to fill up at newer stations or stations which appear to have excellent operational standards.
