In Gironde, motorists noticed breakdowns after refueling at Leclerc service stations and accused the group of cutting off the fuel with water. Michel-Édouard Le Clerc responded this Thursday morning on franceinfo.
'There may be a problem here or there of excess humidity in a tank, a human problem of poor pouring,' said the brand's director of the mass distribution brand. 'I have been hearing this for 40 years, and I can tell you that it is the same fuel because it comes from the same unmarked depot,' said the supermarket leader. 'There are still investigations to be done, but the probes do not show traces of water,' said the group's president. 'CUSTOMERS MAY BE REIMBURSED,' he added. 'We are not going to give up on our customers,' he said.
