BAD FUEL VICTORY

DAILY RECORD HELPS DRIVERS WIN PAYOUTS

- BY GEMMA RYDER

CAR owners have won thousands in compensation after contaminated fuel wrecked their vehicles.

The motorists, who were left with huge repair bills after filling up at a Morrisons Kirkcaldy pump won the payouts when Motor Fuel Group admitted liability for supplying the tainted fuel following a Record probe.

In August, David Stockwell from Aberdour, Fife, bought premium diesel there.

Days later, his wife Katharine was driving their 2012 Volkswagen Golf when it lost all power.
