Urgent Notice- bad fuel at Bapsfontein BP

Postby The Agent » Mon Apr 14, 2008 3:26 pm

We bought some 95 fuel from the Bapsfontein BP on Saturday.


BLIKSEM it was filled with water and grime.
Did not notice it when refueling but the minute we didi the water test at the bottom of the fuel drain it all appeared. In the filler bottle 3/4 water and a small amount of fuel.

BEWARE and never forget to do that #

Maybe a good thing if you use transparent fuel drums as opposed to metal and those you cannot see through!

If it is not Diesel laced with parafin then it's 95 topped up with gunk & H2O!!

Thanks for the warning.

I prefer to buy from bigger, busier filling stations.
