    ano meron sa gaso ng shell kaya nagkakaganyan.

    Dati sa civic vti wayback early 2000 basta shell ikarga ang sama talaga ng arangkada. Naalala ko dati gabi na ako nagising wala ako alam na ginamit kotse ko. Tapos pag start ko tataka ako bakit iba yung tunog at nagreverse ako tapos gulat ako tumaas fuel gauge ko so labas ako tinanong ko kung ginamit ba kotse ko. Tapos tinanong ko saan nagpagaso eh ayun sagot = shell.

    Dati ko pa pinopost ito ayaw maniwala akala nangiimbento ako. Tapos ngayon may balita na ganito pala nangyayari sa brv. So may something talaga sa timpla ng shell na mali.

    Basta shell kinarga ko dati pangit na talaga aragkada. Eh doon nga sa experience ko reverse pa lang nafeel ko na agad. Ilan beses ko inulit yan para hindi sabhin sa utak ko lang. And nagulat din ako may iba din gumawa eh hindi naman nag-usap about this same experience.

    found an old article:

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/car-o...d-gas-1.319549

    A woman from British Columbia has filed a class action lawsuit against Shell Canada. The suit says Shell didn't do enough to notify consumers about a problem with its gasoline.

    Shell has admitted an additive that was in its gas can damage fuel gauges or pumps in certain cars. The additive seems to affect DaimlerChrysler vehicles more than others.

    The gas is causing fuel gauges to register empty even though the tank is full. In some cases, fuel pumps have also been damaged.

    Shell officials say a combination of fuel composition, vehicle design and weather conditions causes a layer of sludge to form over the sensor in the gas tank that reads the fuel level.

    Many car owners had to go to mechanics or dealers several times to look at the problem. Mechanics eventually traced the problem back to Shell's gas.

    The problem has also cropped up on Ford, GM, Volvo and Hyundai cars.
    Honda & Acura Recall for Potential Stalling Issue - Consumer Reports

    Honda is recalling 437,000 Acura MDX SUVs, Acura TLX V6 cars, and Honda Accord V6 cars because the gasoline flow from fuel pumps could slow to the point that a vehicle stalls, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Honda, the parent company for Acura, says it is not aware of any crashes or injuries because of this issue.

    According to the automaker, the presence of sodium particles in some gasolines can cause the fuel pump to slow down, which can ultimately lead to stalling. When the vehicle is operated in areas with high ambient temperatures, the flow of gasoline can be reduced, hurting acceleration and potentially causing the car engine to stall entirely. A Honda spokesman said the issue has been observed mainly in southern states during warm summer months.

    It's not conclusive.. it could be just coincidence? or baka madami lang talaga nagpapa gas sa Shell? Unless somebody comes out with a study.. it's hard to say na Shell nga ang problem.. madami ding BRV owners na Shell users na hindi naman nag fail yung fuel pump.. baka yung fuel pump lang talaga ang bad for a certain batch.. we don't know unless Honda comes out with an official statement.

    So far wala pa yatang 100 units and may problem... out of 14,000+ units sold.. that's only 0.7%

    from JD

    "So the peeps from Honda dropped by the podcast studio last night. They came to share the news that they have now managed to address each known case of the BRV fuel pump issue. They also assured me that while they are still investigating it, they have flown in extra stocks just in case it happens to others--so no more need to wait for parts. And lastly, they would like their customers to know that, as part of their commitment to fixing this issue, they will be checking each vehicle that comes in for PMS that shares this common part, and replacing it automatically under warranty if necessary."
