Close to 30 motorists will claim compensation after their cars were left broken down beside a busy Sydney motorway yesterday after filling up with Caltex fuel contaminated with water.
Automotive experts predict the drivers will be left with a minimum repair bill of $800 after buying ethanol-based E10 petrol from a service station on the M4 at Eastern Creek.
Dozens of vehicles sputtered to a halt just moments after using the E10 bowsers on the eastbound side of the motorway in a period between about 5.30am and 7am.
A spokesman for the petrol giant said the problems did not occur at any of its other Sydney service stations.
Caltex said the problem was isolated to its E10 product at its Eastern Creek eastbound site only and that no other types of fuel were affected.
