Cars stutter as water leaks into fuel station

When granite businessman Mohammed Mujahid (32) stopped at a Shell fuel station on Kanakapura Road at 11.30 p.m. on Wednesday to fill diesel, little did he expect that his car would stop on the highway a few hundred metres away.

After service technicians failed to reach the spot due to the pouring rain, he returned to the fuel station to see if he could get some help, only to find another four to five people there with the same problem. Within an hour, the number of irate customers swelled to close to 20. “We began to suspect that the diesel was mixed with water and that was the reason for the cars stopping on the highway,” Mr. Mujahid said.

This was confirmed to The Hindu by the franchisee owner of the fuel station, Srinivas Reddy.
