Hundreds of British motorists are facing financial ruin after filling up with contaminated fuel at Morrisons petrol stations, with repair bills reaching a staggering £3,000 per vehicle. The supermarket chain now faces growing demands for full compensation as angry drivers describe their vehicles being reduced to "scrap metal" by the damaging mix.
The Forecourt Failure
The crisis emerged when multiple Morrisons forecourts across the country allegedly dispensed contaminated diesel, containing what experts believe was a harmful mixture that included petrol. The result has been catastrophic engine damage for unsuspecting drivers who trusted the supermarket's fuel quality.
Mounting Financial Carnage
Affected motorists report being hit with repair bills ranging from £1,000 to an eye-watering £3,000. Many describe the moment their vehicles began shuddering and losing power shortly after filling up at Morrisons stations, with some cars breaking down completely on busy roads.
One devastated driver expressed the collective frustration: "My car is essentially written off. The repair costs more than the vehicle's worth. Morrisons needs to take full responsibility for this mess."
Morrisons Under Pressure
The retailer now faces intense scrutiny and demands for immediate action, including:
- Full compensation for all repair costs
- Transparency about the scale of the contamination
- Explanation of how quality controls failed
- Immediate safety checks across all forecourts
What Drivers Should Do
Motorists who suspect they've purchased contaminated fuel are advised to:
- Stop driving immediately to prevent further damage
- Contact Morrisons customer service to register the issue
- Seek professional mechanical assessment
- Keep all receipts and documentation
- Report the incident to trading standards if unsatisfied with response
As the number of affected vehicles continues to rise, Morrisons finds itself in a deepening crisis of confidence, with customers questioning whether they can ever trust the supermarket's forecourts again.
