VIC BAD FUEL - BE CAREFUL
rose - August 7th, 2009 at 06:39 PM

This was on the news tonight. Bit scary if you live in VIC.

They say that the contaminated fuel doesn't smell like fuel it smells sweet and it is a lot clearer than normal fuel. I wouldn't be filling up without taking a small jar with me and putting some in it first to see if its ok.

They are saying it will take them a few more days of testing to see what's in the fuel.

heard it too!

so far only been from mobile or shell servos... leaving white build up/deposit on the spark plugs...
180 fouled cars already reported in such a short time frame...

BP might be spikin the competition :P
yet again, could be just crazy news people. they said ethanol or water contamination has been ruled out.... and its unknown what it is... rada rada... yet alone saying we are meant to be dead already from bird flu, sars epidemics, global warming, nuclear warfare.... Geebuz "days of our lives' for pete's sake...
