A Sainsbury’s investigation remains ongoing three weeks after Wiltshire motorists claim they were sold “contaminated” fuel that damaged their cars.
The retailer launched a probe into the incident and customers were allegedly told there had been several reports of “contaminated fuel” causing the issues.
Three weeks on Sainsbury’s is continuing to investigate what happened.
At the time of writing, unleaded petrol remained unavailable at the busy filling station according to a spokesperson for Sainsbury’s.
Super unleaded petrol remains on sale for the price of unleaded.
Matt Jones and his mother Sylwia were one of several local drivers whose cars were left with issues after filling up on the evening of February 7.
The pair were left on the side of the road until 2am after Mr Jones’ car broke down in Corsham, just minutes after buying petrol from the supermarket.
They were subsequently told the car needed to be drained due to “water contamination” and were slapped with a repair bill of more than £500.
At the time, Sainsbury’s apologised for any inconvenience caused.
