Holden Captiva: Bad fuel in system

...

My Captiva engine's fuel system has gone cactus and destroyed the engine. The mechanic thinks dirty diesel might be the problem. Are we getting contaminated diesel in Australia?

We have heard of issues with diesel engines in recent weeks, which are thought to have been caused by contaminated diesel fuel. Insiders are saying the fuel has been contaminated by a fungus during shipping, but little more is known at this stage. We are attempting to find out more.
