What An F***** Asshole.

[R33GTS25t]

Today i couldnt be stuffed going all da way to BP so i went to Shell to fill the car up. When i went to turn the car on it coughed a bit but started so im like oook then... so after about 3 minutes of driving in a 80 Zone the car lost all power and turn off. Without panicking i rolled it with the speed i had into the far side lane and turned the hazard lights on. I tryed turning the car on, it coughed but turned on, and than turned off a few seconds later, i tried this several times but it still wasnt going to happen. Then this ass hole in a Ford Falcon comes right up my ass and gives his horn a beating and im like wtf, then he pulls up next to me and creates traffic on a 80 Zone and i go "What the fcuk is your problem c*nt, cant you see the fcuken hazard lights, isnt the other 2 lanes enought for you" with out saying anything he pulls up in front of me and did the saddest burnout i have ever seen in my life.

So than i rang a mate up and he came down, we had to empty the tank and fill it up with some of his fuel, the car then worked fine.

Anyone else ever had buggered up fuel from Shell?

Never had any problems with fuel from shell... which service station??

[inark]

i hope u kept the fuel...

ive seen this happen plenty of times in other cars... generally water causes this.

You should be able to see it quite easily if u put it in a jar as they have different densities.

keep it and take it to the place and see what they say.... speak to the consumer affairs and also get a mechanic to do a full check of the engine etc.

BP is cleaner. Was probably at the bottom of the tanks too. Had any recent rain? Maybe some water is in the tank at the servo.

The one near the intersection on Stud Road.

[inark]

u can take legal action against them.

theres been plenty of rain around here...

also if u have had the car checked out recently by a mechanic before you went there it would also work in ur favour.

Allready taken care off mate

Yeah i just had my full Service B done.

[martydaman]

either water in the tanks or shell are pumpin shitloads of ethanol into the fuel supply

[inark]

Allready taken care off mate  

did u keep the fuel in a container???

or at least a jar?

[R33GTS25t]

did u keep the fuel in a container???

or at least a jar?

No, i had nothing to put it in. When we were draining the fuel out, it did seem like there was something not mixing with it correct, ie. water

[inark]

shame...

no evidence to use against them.

[martydaman]

when was this?? its possible that the tank hasnt been re-filled or maybe some other people had the same problem and complained too.

[inark]

this is true...

which petrol station is it so we know to stay clear

[The Jake]

Yep. Need address.

[krzysiu]

Coudlnt it be Petrol poisoning by mixing Shell with BP?? That could have caused something.

[R33GTS25t]

I dont know the address, its the intersection one on Stud Road with BP across the road, and car lovers across that.

The tank was near empty.

[martydaman]

if the tank was emply then the higher concentration of the shell fuel wouldnt be dilluted by the previous fuel you had. You should grab a petrol can and go to the service station and get a sample, depending when it happened i doubt they refualled the tanks

[Guest RedLineGTR]

had a issues with shell fuel quite a while ago with another car after driving 5km or less the car died pretty much as drove like shit had to pump out the old stuff and use another brand of fuel at that time.
