Fuel Contamination, purchased fuel from Asda Thurmaston Leicestshire
23/06/2011 pump 6.
£50.00 worth of fuel, car engine died on me.
Garage advised in there opinion that the fuel is contaminated and this has burnt one of the pumps and caused an issue with the ECU the electronic brain of the Freelander to not work. I am looking at a bill of over £1,000 and more. I have approached Asda and given them a copy of the till receipt of the diesel purchased and even offered them a sample of the Diesel to test but they do not want to know. There answer is it would of affected more cars on the road? I have been directed to Trading Standards and i have spoken with Consumer direct who have advised i have a strong case under the sale of goods act.
I will persue this and get back what is owed to me- is there ANYONE out there that has purchased Diesel from the same place.
Then all affected will have a stronger case to litigate claims.

Await your responses.
PUMP 6

My wife filled up her meriva diesel today and within a mile broke down. Breakdown man arrived and conFirmed that the fuel was contaminated or she has put petrol in it. 2 spaces away in the car park another vehicle was being looked at by a mechanic which was smoking and chugging just like my wife's car also while we were there an rac van came in too and another coincidence a vw tdi was broken down just a 1/4 mile from the garage. COINCIDENCE?!!!!! I'm not so sure. Asda are checking there CCTV and transaction receipts. I'll keep you all posted and if anyone else has had same problem around the same time please contact me.

Thanks

I assume you mean the Thurmaston Asda, as you make no reference to it in your post.

Also, this thread is over a year old - you're best making your own.

Hi

I've split this out to its own thread.
