‘Contaminated Droitwich diesel cost us thousands’

Customers at a Sainsbury’s garage found contaminated fuel in their cars after filling up in February 2026 - where the diesel had water in the system.

James Gooding from Tibberton filled up his car from the pumps on the Worcester Road and told the Âé¶¹Éç the incident had cost him over £1,000 after his car broke down.

Mirren Brewer said the £40 of diesel she put in her car ended up costing her £500 in repairs.

Sainsbury’s have since apologised to those affected by the contaminated fuel.
