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?

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.

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.

this is true...  

which petrol station is it so we know to stay clear

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

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

The tank was near empty.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
