Default Contaminated Fuel...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6405051.stm?lsf

Anyone heard any rumours of this happening again? I filled up at the second to last services before Dover (Esso) on Wednesday, boarded the ferry to Calais and today 300 miles later my Vectra died and needed to be towed to a French Opel dealership. They won't know for sure until tomorrow when they get the computer plugged in, but on initial inspection this contaminated fuel with too much ethanol is what they think the problem is.
