whats going on with this contaminated fuel

and does it affect bikes.

They are saying it affects an oxygen sensor in the exhaust, but they only talk about cars.

Filled the Falco up from a Tesco garage in the sout east today, so mildly concerned.

found a thread about this in General, so best to keep all the discussions in one place.

Is there an oxygen sensor on your exhaust system?

If there is then it could affect you.

One of my friends who has the same bike as me (had) filled up at Tesco last night, he can't start his bike now :smt013
