Good insurance company. Most would pay only repair cost and few may pay gas but paying your time off for this bad gas problem is very rare.

Hope your wife learned lesson


There's also some sort of leak detector and it slows down the pump to tick people off to make them demand fixing. But it's still a good reason to go elsewhere!

I buy all my gasoline at Costco; no place else.

You better hope they don't water your booze down too! That would be worse yet.

LOL! I am pretty sure, after 11 years of Submarines, that that is good!

I think we BITOGers need to get some of that money! We convinced you to go after the gas station.

Yes, a $25 filter changed twice a year would have saved a lot of aggravation and expense. Seems like these would be mandatory.

"The “Alert” models 40510A-AD and 40530A-AD are designed to remove particulate and to detect and react to phase separation in Ethanol blended gasoline and slow flow as an indicator to the presence of phase separation." Flow rate drops to about 1 gallon per minute when triggered and there are different models for different fuel types.

I use them in my ag. tanks at work.
