QDM - FWIW the substance found in the contaminated petrol was silicon.

Silicon has the atomic number 14, and is a tetravalent metalloid. Silicone is a rather different substance, formerly used to enhance ladies' assets, and still used to seal gaps in bathrooms.

I'd hope that as a doctor you'd know the difference between sand and a 34D.
