Petrol giant Esso has apologised to motorists in Harpenden after more than 30 cars were filled with contaminated fuel, resulting in vehicles breaking down.

A spokesman for the company has admitted that on Wednesday September 10 customers bought contaminated fuel from the Tesco Esso Express station on Lower Luton Road in Batford.

He said that, “following a delivery error a quantity of diesel was placed into one of the unleaded 95 storage tanks at the station”.

Among those affected was nanny Sarah Homan, who said: “My car broke down after filling up with fuel from the Batford Tescos.”
