Rip Offs

I bought contaminated fuel yesterday and within 300 yards my car packed in.Today i heard it would cost me 200 quid.So took the oxygen censor out and cleaned it with fine emery paper.Drained the tank and put fuel in i had in a can for my mower.Presto car runs perfect.Don't get ripped off it's easy to fix.

My only worry is for the emergency services. Anyone else having to leave their car in the ditch - ha ha! Serves you right for wrecking the planet. Get a bike or use public transport!

No one from fuel supplies will admit they are at fault.The white film on my sensor looked like dried detertgent.They are getting out saying theres nothing in it that should'nt be but not that theres too much of something that should be.

this is good cos it ges more people onto public transport, we should severley restrict vehicle use unless fuel is truelly green.

Everyone should be angry at oil companies for messing the planet,

petroluem products are also harsher on engines,
proper biodiesel in a converted engine is far better for fuel & has more calories so you go further on it

thing is biofuel probably wont be viable for a decade, so get the bus if you want a planet to live on

For christ sake! My car has been filled with faulty fuel. This, to date, has cost me over £700. Now, whilst you lot are out there claiming benefits so you can lead an eco-lifestyle some of us have to work! I (unlike you all) have a valuable job to do....I am a district nurse and have had to rely upon using loan cars. So next time you make ridiculous generalisations think of this. The planet may survive without cars but some of us can't so f***k off!

planet wrecker!
