Contaminated fuel, from Codacons the indications for obtaining compensation for damages
A sentence of the Cassation recognized that the consumer, for obtain damages for contaminated fuelmust provide proof of actual refueling, of the damage caused, and of the causal link between the event and the damage, giving evidence of the presence of water in the tank.
However, the only way a motorist can providing evidence of damage is through “presumptions”, capable of providing a reasonable probability that the damage was due to the water present in that specific filling station and not in others. Since the motorist does not have the possibility to carry out a check on the underground tanks of the service stations, it becomes essential to carry out an appraisal by a professional mechanic or technician.
“The sentence of the Supreme Court clarifies what are the elements that must be proved to obtain compensation for damages for contaminated fuel – he comments Codacons president Marco Donzelli – anyone who is in doubt of having suffered damage has a technical report carried out to demonstrate the presence of water in the tank.
