Hmm,  they put in some stuff to clean old residue from British petrol. If that
happens to clear a crack in the process it was unintended. Joking of course, but
the point is valid. 95 or 98 as we call it, has additions, unknown to us 
innocents.
It could well be that these additions interact with each other and or
the other materials we are using on our planes. I've followed some tests on 
mogas
in consumer magazines, and it's really amazing what it all contains, or even
does not contain. One of the samples did not contain any additions, by mistake
the selling company said. This pure fuel caused severe deposit in the engine
and fuel system....
Remarkable in this discussion are the people that keep telling that their fuel
has always been clean. They probably do not need filters or gascolators at all.
Or checklists either. It's always OK eh? They probably forget that just that
one, first incident could kill them. Wrong mentality in this hobby. 

Kind Regards,
