firstly, if it was an 'unwashed' tanker, it would take only one full tank of petrol to wash it out. secondly the number of places reporting issues, it would be nigh on impossible for this 'one mythical tanker' to deliver to all sites affected. The sites have been delivered to from many refining sites across the country

the issue affects the O2 sensor in exhausts. (Old non Cat cars aren't affected at all as they don't have an O2 sensor), if you top up a half full car with 'contaminated' stuff its watered down to 50% original strength so it may not be an issue at all as we don't know what % is req to do teh damage.

Remember that all Petrol contains all these additives anyway, its only an imbalance that seems to be causing a problem
