No. Car insurance in the main only covers accidental damage to your car and or third party depending on cover.
The supplier of the fuel will have public liability insurance and you will have to put a claim in via the supplier.
Good luck.

Not usually - the fuel provider should be insured for that eventuality on your behalf (in other words the station takes out insurance to pay for repairs to your car in case they sell you contaminated fuel).

If you've got the legal protection extension you might get advice on this, but you would have to have receipts for the petrol and mechanics report on the failure with a statement connecting the fuel purchase to the problem. If you've got all this you can go through the small claims court and leave your insurers out of it. If you have AA/RAC cover they will help.

No insurance company will pay out for contaminated fuel,they will not pay for repairs if you put diesel in a petrol engine by mistake .

It's remotely possible that your comprehensive might cover the damages, but you would have to call your insurance company to find out. Don't file a claim unless you are absolutely sure they will pay. A denied claim often counts against you.

No. You are however covered if you inadvertently put the wrong fuel into your car, provided of course you don't continue to drive it once you realise, further damaging the car. (Of course, you don't generally get very far with the wrong fuel in your tank anyway!)

You must complain to the supplier of the fuel, and they will be responsible. If you contaminated the fuel system yourself, then you are unlucky I think.

No, unless you have had a clause added to the fact that this would happen.
