Reports of water being found in petrol or diesel from supermarket filling stations don’t happen very often, but another has recently cropped on the Isle of Wight.
Sainsbury’s confirmed that an incident occurred at their Newport petrol filling station on Saturday 11th January.
At least one customer has suffered damage to their car after filling up at Sainsbury’s, with a bill of over £200 to put it right. It’s reported that Sainsbury’s have covered that bill for the customer concerned.
A spokesperson for the company told OnTheWight,
“We immediately isolated the affected pumps and spoke to the drivers who were affected to apologise for the inconvenience.
“We’ve looked into the issue to ensure it does not happen again and our forecourt is open as usual.”
