Any one been caught with the dodgy fuel?
Range Rover Blues:
Me too, I've heard that it's the Lambda senosor, or more correctly the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxegen sensor, which IIRC means it detects the inverse of Lambda :?
Anyway, those things don't work if they aren't hot and mostly are internally heated, so any corrosive chemical in the exhaust will have a field day there won't it. i canonly imagine it will damage the ECU if the sensor shorts out, but surely the ECU is designed to cope with this as a possibly fault :?:

Of course it won't be. If it was, think of the millions of pounds car manufacturers would lose out in not having to replace these ECUs! :?
hobbit:
It looks like its mostly newer electronic controlled vehicles that are suffering, anybody with an older non electronic sensoring vehicle, that uses a carb had any problems, not heard anything about that side
Mind you the old series landys can run on virtually anything :lol:
Evilgoat:
I filled up at Tesco on Mon, on and off I've had :
Code 3F (Front Knock Sensor)
Code 14 (O2 sensor over-range)
Code 12 (Remap in progress)
And its just felt wrong. I've had it before on two ocasions, one was getting a tankful of water (Cheers Safeway) and what seemed like dodgey Shell fuel.
Filled up on BP Ultimate and it SEEMS to have gone away.
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I was caught by bad fuel at Morrisons a year ago. Crud in the diesel blocked all the lines and cost me over £300 to clear the problem.
Not happy
I now only buy fuel from Esso or BP.
