I'm surprised no-body has mentioned this top topic which has been in the news for the past few days, as some petrol got some "Silicon products" in it when it was being made at a petrol-factory, so cars are misfiring and the engines are breaking.

Wouldn't happen in a diesel:P

I would have if I had been around to do so. the thing that intrigues me is that they maitain that the contaminated depot only supplies petrol stations in the SE. If that's the case, are all the people in the N of England who reported problems lying? or is there a big cover-up going on?

There is a cover-up going on me thinks...

 

It wasn't the engines giving the problems, just the posh sensors in exhausts which feed back to the engine what's coming out of the back getting messed up by the silicon.

:thinking: :shifty:!!!

its not all been cars with oxygen sensors though. unless some people are trying to pull a fast one

I bet Mc_Squared peed in the tank.

I bet some people are trying to pull a fast one and claim that the damage to their engine is due to dodgy petrol when it isn't.

 

The problem has been seemed to have been sorted out, I wouldn't like to be the company in charge of cleaning those large tanks right now :laugh3:
