Dodgy(ish) fuel...?

Post by EliseR » Tue Jul 24, 2007 1:11 pm

I was running low on fuel yesterday morning aand had a spare tenner so off to Tesco and filled with their basic car food...

Between that point and a fill up at the garage last night, the car was spluttering to a start and struggling to stay alive in first and reverse. I had to rev it quite a bit to get it stable before setting off.

Last night I stuck in half a tank of standard shell stuff, all is well...

SLS are servicing the car tomorrow night, will get them to check just in case...

oooh, I know it was mainly down South the dodgy fuel issue previously... hopefully this aint the start of a re-occurance.

Was it a silicone issue or something last time?
I have no signature.

Dunno but I will be avoiding them for the next few weeks. TO be honest I hate filling up there, think it was the first or second time ever.
