Shell pays up after water gets into vehicles’ fuel tanks
The Straits Times Tuesday, 29 August 2006

 
FIVE vehicles which pulled into a Shell station in Palan Jurong Kechil recently were served watered-down petrol. An undetected puncture in an underground fuel pipe - 2mm wick and likely the result of corrosion - caused a substantial amount of water in the soil to get into the pump.
Vehicles which took in the adulterated petrol - four cars and a motorcycle - suffered varying degree of damages. For one owner, Shell agreed to throw in a two-year warranty on the car - on top of the three- ear new-car warranty - and $10,000 in compensation.
