2nd Today, got a bad batch of fuel so its back in the shop.

Hey Al, that's obviously no good, but better that the radiator go now rather than later.
Have you had any word on what (if any) damage the bad fuel might have done, and when you'll get it back?

It's been a combination of getting my mechanic to submit the quote and now getting AAMI to act.  Getting caught up with the pre Easter madness at the mechanics has not helped at all :'(

I am hoping to get some action this week.

The estimate came in at around $6000, so I'm glad I'm not paying for it.
