Tesco fuel

[Saleen836]

Anyone got caught out with the dodgy fuel from Tesco?
Been hearing it on the radio all day with people saying they have had quotes of around £5k for a complete new fuel system!

Not me but there is a write up in the Bournemouth Echo, appears to be Diesel from Branksome. Hopeful not Diesel from other Tesco as I just filled up my car.

work colleague has just posted up on FB just had tank emptied by AA. Smelt like paint thinners. Looks like someone has overdone the fuel additives.

Filled up at a large Tesco in Swansea on Sunday, car still seems to be ok. I'd imagine that Tesco source their fuel from various suppliers depending on price (not to mention how much profit they can make!) so if there is contamination it will only affect certain areas. My local Tesco Express in Eastleigh sells Esso so no problems there.........I hope.

No thankfully I use Shell, and drive past Tesco Fleetsbridge to get it.

Same here. I wouldn't entertain supermarket fuel in the Volvo, it doesn't run right on anything lower than 97ron any way but Tesco water that momentum 99 crap down with bioethanol. They then get kickbacks of HM moneybags for selling a part-bio fuel. Tried it once and the car drank loads of the stuff but didn't go very well at all.

The starlet however... I'll fill that with whatever fuel I have the most vouchers for

Heard on the radio this morning the forecourt is closed and being dug up for investigation!
