Just wondering if anyone had issues with fuel quality from garage in Chippenham.

Chatting to my neighbour today who son owns a Porsche 997, it appears he filled up at a Petrol station in Chippenham yesterday and after leaving garage, car has broken down/running very badly. Recovery van arrives asking if he filled with diesel, it appears not. Car currently at Porsche in Swindon, tank has been drained waiting for tests on possible fuel contamination. Water maybe ?????

Hopefully it can be resolved but car is his daily driver and he is carless at the moment and I don't think he is on PH, so I thought I would ask around.

If it helps I use petrol from the esso by john miller in two cars and don't have any troubles. What's the fuel station in question?

Looks like it is happening again at Sainsbury's in Chippenham this time.

You would have thought after the silicon in fuel debacle a few years back they would on top of this sort of thing but apparently not..
