Sainsburys petrol - Susie (8th May 2014 - 17:31:41) I filled up my tank today and half way down to Portsmouth my engine warning light came on and struggled with acceleration. It's still on and I know from an experience a few years ago that it could mean I have fuel contamination. If anyone else has had problems today it would save me having it tested, if I hear nothing then I will have to get it looked at by the garage for a fault. Thanks

Re: Sainsburys petrol - rob (11th May 2014 - 00:42:08) Did you get it sorted, I personally have had no issues

Re: Sainsburys petrol - Robert (11th May 2014 - 02:35:55) I would say that stating supermarket fuel is bad, is a touch misleading. Millions of people use it with no problems. I nearly always use supermarket fuel (albeit super UL) in my fairly powerful car without a problem. A bad batch of fuel is possible. It's happened before. But I'd say it's much more likely to be an unrelated problem. The engine management light can come on due to a huge range of possible troubles. In a nutshell, bad fuel is possible, but its more likely to be something else.

Re: Sainsburys petrol - Diane (11th May 2014 - 12:37:59) The same thing happened to our car after filling up at sainsburys a few days ago. The message has now cleared off the screen.

Re: Sainsburys petrol - Amy (7th Jun 2014 - 09:14:40) My partner filled up with diesel last night and now our light has come on. Anyone else had problems again recently?

Re: Sainsburys petrol - Susie (7th Jun 2014 - 11:19:03) My light did go off shortly after filling up somewhere else. They obviously have a problem somewhere. I no longer buy petrol there, Morrisons is usually cheaper and it's on my way home or the A3 one and I pop in for a Starbucks.
