Which ink is most similar to Montblanc Petrol?

[MIHCK]

I'll be at the DC Supershow later today and I'd like to get an ink that would complement my Pelikan M205 Petrol.  Montblanc Petrol would work perfectly but is awfully expensive.  Any suggestions of inks by other manufacturers that come close to Montblanc Petrol would be very appreciated.  Thank you!

Having been a couple of days since nobody else has dropped a hint or two here, you have checked out this great review, haven't you?

That review suggests Noodler's Bad Blue Heron, or Diamine Eau de Nil as two good options.

 

Which did you end up picking up?

... Those two  plus  the Equinoxe....

Tsuki -yo isn't too far off:

I was tempted to buy this ink but I have half a dozen inks in the ball park, like Eau de Nil, though none quite identical.

I have L'APC Equinoxe 6 and use it a lot.

This one actually caught me by surprise yesterday, but figured it was worth sharing.

 

I'd intended to grab my bottle of Quink Permanent Blue to test a freshly repaired pen, but grabbed the Quink Blue-Black by mistake(current Quink bottles aren't marked to the color on the bottle, but just indicate by the color of the label-washable blue is a light sky-blue type color, permanent a more medium blue, and blue-black a navy blue color).

 

In any case, my first reaction when writing with it was how much it reminded me of petrol blue after drying.

 

I pulled out a pen inked with MB 80 Days, which I'm not totally convinced isn't exactly the same ink as Petrol Blue, and wrote next to them to compare.

 

It's definitely not an exact match, but the Quink B-B does have the teal-leaning shading of Petrol Blue, although it's not as easy to bring out. Still, though, at ~$12 for a 57mL bottle and fairly easy to find, it might be worth a shot(there's also some speculation that Waterman Mysterious Blue is the same ink, but I'm not convinced).
