  Motorists insist Tesco to blame for fuel breakdowns in Faversham:

  This rumour has been running for a few years now, and the latest story just confuses the issue, with Tesco saying it was water contamination that affected "a handful of customers". I've personally avoided cheaper fuel for a long time because a replacement engine is more costly than the difference in fuel price.

  Just not getting this one as Tesco admit to the fault and are recompensing some customers but not others. It's not as if they know exactly when the fault started and which customers filled up during the period, nobody gives their name when filling up and paying for petrol unless they used a card.

  It's confusing, because not only are the people in the story not being compensated or recompensed, but how on earth could there have been a 'water leak' that was 'isolated' without proper repairs to the tank? I would like to know if any 'technicians' attended the site to fix this 'leak'.
  
  There have been many stories of contamination of Tesco and other cheaper fuel over the last few years, but not all of them identify water as the cause.
