The car was eventually towed to a Mahindra workshop, where technicians drained the tank and revealed a shocking discovery\u2014a sample of fuel mixed with water, allegedly drawn directly from the car\u2019s tank. The user wrote that the mechanics were cleaning the fuel tank before refilling it with fresh petrol, but they also warned that if the issue persisted, the fuel pump or motor could require replacement, leading to costly repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This raised pressing questions about accountability. The Redditor pointed out that the issue occurred immediately after refuelling at a reputed pump and wondered if Indian Oil or the concerned petrol station could be held liable. He also asked if compensation could be pursued through consumer courts if Indian Oil denied responsibility. Further, he questioned whether his car insurance policy might cover damage caused by contaminated fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consumer Distrust Grows as Users Share Fuel Contamination Experiences<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident triggered a wave of responses from other users, many of whom shared similar experiences. One commenter suggested approaching the petrol pump owner directly for compensation, while another recounted facing the same issue with Indian Oil fuel, vowing never to refill there again. Such accounts highlight rising consumer distrust and the urgent need for strict monitoring of fuel quality at retail outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Mahindra XUV700 owner\u2019s car broke down in Delhi hours after refuelling at an Indian Oil station, with mechanics finding water-mixed petrol.
