I have had a really bad experience with buying bad fuel in port Harcourt. I have changed my wife's car Rav4 fuel pump 4 times within two month.the latest near miss happened this week. We bought fuel in a mobil filling station and the car stopped moving within one hour of driving. I had to call my mechanic and straight away he went for the fuel line. Behold what we bought was a cross between PMS, diesel and condensate. After draining the car of the unknown substance, I had to go for fuel hunting only wiser this time. I asked the fuel attendant to pour a little on my fingers for me to smell and watch how quickly it evaporates. What is your experience with bad fuel in the niger delta? |

diehard: Seems you are alone in this matter. I know a few people who have used vehicles for 4years in p.h without the fuel contamination problem |

Don't think so. Newer vehicles are prone to this challenges. In fact I bought fuel on my '03 Lexus car and it seems to handle this mixture well but the '10 rav4 can't |

The mobil station is on airport road by eliozu junction and also Wilbert station on the same airport road. NNPC stations and a few other seems to sell good fuel. Some filling station buy pms from our local refiners to make extra profit and mix it with the good stuff. The quick guide is any filling station taxi drivers don't go to is a red flag |
