Not everybody has $20,000 that can be earmarked for contaminated fuel repairs. If a petrol station is evading responsibility, or taking too long to admit fault, a less expensive solution may be available.

Insurance providers may process a claim to repair the damage caused by dirty fuel. A handful of providers will cover the cost of repairs for comprehensive policyholders, such as NRMA and GIO, as long as a mechanic's report determines contaminated fuel to be the cause. However, check with your insurer – we found customers of AAMI and Just Car Insurance, for example, would not be covered.
