Tescos petrol - contaminated again?
Options
I filled up with Unleaded petrol at Tescos today. As soon as I drove off, the car started cutting out whenever I took my foot off the gas.
I remember there was some contaminated petrol at Tescos about a year ago, which caused this problem - could it be happening again?
Has anyone lese filled up at Tescos today?
Also, does anyone know what I should do about this problem?
Thanks

Thanks for your replies.
Well, I paid in the kiosk, and then drove off. No differently to how I would
any other time. Also, I had about a quarter of a tank before I filled up"Carpe Diem"

We've had reports of Tesco diesel being contaminated, in Cambridge. See other thread..
It could be a coincidence, but it does sound like it was the fuel. If I were you the first thing I would do, would be to buy 2 or 3 litres in a can, now from the same pump. Then talk to trading standards.
I'm about to go and get a few litres myself, I think I'll go to BP0 -

Hi, just wondered what Tesco you used to fill up, thanks for the heads up OP0 -
Sorry to hear that, ever since the balls up by Tesco last year, I avoid all supermarket petrol/fuel.
Shell garage is always cheaper around here as well.;)0 -

Well that wouldn't be the fuel you've just put in as there's a good litre or more sat in the filters and the fuel lines so you'd need to do a good 5-10 miles before the other fuel started to be drawn through.0 -
So Is anybody going to let us all in on the location ...Not really a heads up till we know where to avoid .0
