When was your car last serviced?

How empty was your tank before you put petrol in?

How do you know their fuel did this to your car?

Before you start blaming the garage and their petrol wouldn't be a good idea to find out exactly why the car died the way it did, there are numerous other unrelated reasons eg. faulty sensors, coil pack, faulty fuel pump, etc.

It could well be dirty fuel.
I'm having to drain the diesel filter evey day on my pickup! You would not beleve the ****e that has come out of it. I only use the big named petrol stations because I found the small local ones had bad fuel, but now looks like they are all adding any ****e to the fuel to make more money! Legends.
