Bad fuel

Hello - has anyone else experienced engine trouble after filling up at the Husky station at West King Edward and Oak Street in Vancouver? Long story short - I filled up in late November (Premium), turns out that it was calmost 1/2 diesel.

Thanks

Wow, that's bad ...
sorry, they know better than that in NY.

But is there any damage to be expected from something less severe like using 89 or 86 instead of the 93 ?

RE: Bad fuel

Not a very nice experience 2001blue.

I hasd similar trouble around 12 years ago when I filled up with diesel that was about 60% either petrol or water ( not sure which!!) from my local filling station in Stirling.
I got around 40 miles or so before the car slowed down soo much with masses of white smoke billowing from the exhausts. Took around 3 hours to get roadside assistance and taken back to the garage to complain. Turns out they had had more than a few complaints. They paid for the fuel system to be completely drained and refilled. The least they could do in my opinion!

I'd certainly take them to task over it and see if you can get them to cough up at least that much?
Good luck
