Strange Cutting Out Fault

Wondered if anyone had any experience of this type of thing. The other day i put about £35 of petrol into the car and shortly after pulling out of the garage and driving through the supermarkets car park the engine cut out and the dash lights all went out as if i had turned the engine off.

It re started fine, and drove perfectly until later in the day. Then nothing for a day or two until yesterday when in birmingham (same thing again, shortly after starting the engine). I put some fuel treatment in it last night and it's done it again this lunch time, though it will take a while to work though i'd guess.

Any thoughts?

I had the same problem once: put in petrol, drove through a supermarket carpark, and engine stopped. Car was a diesel :lol:

Have you checked the battery terminals for looseness or corrosion?
