Analysis would of course been a needle in a haystack with out tracing back where the contaminated fuel came from.
Just not impressed with how the situation was dealt with. I wasn't affected mind.
An abnormally high number of cars backfiring not long after filling up, from various pump stations across a relatively large area of the UK.
If it was one garage then you would look at what happened there, if it was several garages, you would look at the supply to them and so on back util the source was found. One would assume they have retained samples of the fuels at various stages, wait that would mea orgaisation so maybe not.
Its going to cost a fortune to get the cars back up and running properly.

Contaminated with what? Not found because the concentrations are below laboratory method analytical detection limits.

For example, if it is contaminated with water, the measurement detection limit may not be low enough. If contaminated with sugar, the analysis of sugar is very difficult and must be done in an advanced lab. If it is contaminated with an organic, extractions efficiencies may not be good enough for the tager molecule.
It could be contaminated with dozens of substances and there could be dozens of reasons that nothing was detected. You need to provide us more details of your exact situation.

Question is too ambiguous. Why do you feel it is contaminated? what is tested? tested for what? what are they looking for ? who is they?
