Any - Tesco diesel probe: Branksome filling station stay - Gibbo_Wirral

A Tesco filling station whose customers reported engine problems after they bought diesel is to remain closed.

A number of vehicles broke down shortly after filling up at the station in Branksome, Poole, Dorset, on 18 September.

The forecourt has been dug up and the supermarket is carrying out "further research" after tests on the fuel were inconclusive.

Thank goodness that Waitrose set the standard once again and retail Shell fuels instead of buying in unbranded fuels.

There is clear evidence on HJ's Q and A that its best to stick to the main fuel suppliers.

Why are they digging the forecourt up if the problem lies with the original quality of the supplied fuel?
