Hi just a quick update, My insurers are paying the garage for the work actioned on my car The insurers sent an independant engineer out who confirmed fuel contamination. Asda have had the tanks tested and found microbial growth, if they had done this 4 weeks ago the strength would of be much agressive. I will now be seeking to litigate to claim back expenses. Cars who have used this bio diesel will not break down staight away it takes time to filter through so i will make it my aim to help any one who has experienced the same situation as mine and steer them in the right direction. I for one will now only purchase my fuel from a garage rather than at a super store garage. So for all the skeptics out there you can prove the correlatation from the fuel to the car otherwise i would of been left with a very hefty bill.
I will keep you all informed of the final outcome.:j

your post should be made a sticky for all the people who know better than us pump6

1 as one of the sceptics am very pleased that you have acheived a successful outcome to your problem which hopefully will benefit others in the future.

All that is needed now, in order to close out this post ( and answer the several people who have already asked you) is what is the name of the insurance company that has agreed to meet your claim

Hi all,

I've moved a different problem with ASDA fuel to its own thread...
