Why do we pay to get our car "inspected" to make sure it's road worthy when it comes time to renewal by the State while a gas station owner isn't held accountable for corrupt fuel that cripples a car on the road?
Only 7 states don't require inspections, its all a sham! The inspection station are vultures trying to find any little thing not to pass your car and charge too much just to change out something simple like wiper blades 🙄
It has been raining a lot and if the drop tubes leak it can get water in the tanks but the tanks usually have an alarm system to tell if the water is to high. If they don't have this system then they should stick the tank every day with water paste on the end of the measuring stick. I turns a color if water is present. Then they would have to hire a used oil truck or pump truck to suck out the water. Now if the water is under the level the pumps it can pick still be picked up and someone can still get water if the station is getting fuel because when the fuel is dropped it stirs up everything. After the fuel is dropped in about 15 to 30 minutes the water will settle back to the bottom of the tank. Water is heavier than fuel. All fuel tanks have water due to condensation but usually it is only a couple of inches and the pumps usually sit at about 12 inches but not always. I never get fuel if I see a gas truck at any gas station. The owner could have had this happen or he was buying time to get the tanks cleaned and new fuel. Now if he has an alarm system it will give past readings and the state should know this.
Right,epa law they have to have the alarm system, the tank is double walled with a area for salt water between the two, if that brine solution gets less salty, brine , that makes the alarm go off, the lids you drive over and the caps on the pipe to the tank is main water problem they leak it goes into tank
When you have this many people complaining about the gas it’s time to step in and shut it down until it’s right. It’s possible that the owner was getting bad gas initially and not knowing it. But…for it to continue? Needs to stop and be corrected.
When gas leaves the refinery via a truck rack, it has a chain of custody and has been tested and monitored at each point for quality "BS&W", more then likely the water content originated at the station's tanks
Folks, only buy top tier gas: Shell, Chevron, Exxon, BP and Costco. Costco is great because their petro changes over often. Try to get gas from busy intersections. And that fine is bs!
This is actually a bigger problem than most realize. The majority of stations do not want to take liability or even acknowledge complaints in terms of fuel. The one I used to work at, would seep water into the tank underground. Every so often, a VERY angry customer would come in and complain about it, demanding we pay their repair bills. Our policy was to deny it/talk as little as possible about it besides saying it's beyond our control. I'm happy it is getting attention, because it made me feel horrible, with our location on a highway, to know we were probably disabling so many traveler's cars and not caring.
My son's wife is a 'native citizen', in Canada. Any car parked in their yard is fair game for having the tank drained at night- they use a cordless drill. No honour among thieves apparently.
Houston is the only city I have ever had bad gas given to me and ruined my car years ago. I have lived in so many places and Houston takes the cake on scammers.
Ofcourse NOT..they just want the owner to go out of business so that we can buy an electric car and wait 20 to 40 minutes every time we need to charge up. We are Not Patient people so who knows how this will all play out.🙄
Actually small claims court would probably be the best. Depending on what the limit is in Texas. Statements from all of the other people that got water in their gas would probably be enough evidence.
It's a BMW. They probably replaced the high pressure fuel pump and other overpriced components of the fuel system. Plus it's dealer rates. The worst is when a tanker delivers gasoline to a gas station and accidentally puts it in the diesel tank.

I can't see water though which naturally won't mix with the fuel and the whole idea of this kind of criminal behavior is to use combustible liquids they got free and will burn with the gasoline .
Something isn't adding up. If the fuel was contaminated with water, then logically, every single person who got fuel from there would have had their vehicles damaged. Why are there just a few?
this is why you never fill up while that tanker in filling the pumps, it needs to settle out for a bit or else it mixes with water at the bottom f the tank. Yes, there is water in every in every fuel tank.

There is absolutely no way that watered fuel or even a diesel mix would cause 7K of damage. Drain the tank, change the fuel filter, fill with fresh fuel. In the case of water contamination, pull the tank and sop out the fuel. Even with a tank pull this is going to be sub $ 400 .

Why do we pay to get our car "inspected" to make sure it's road worthy when it comes time to renewal by the State while a gas station owner isn't held accountable for corrupt fuel that cripples a car on the road?
Good point .
Its probably a republican run state.
Only 7 states don't require inspections, its all a sham! The inspection station are vultures trying to find any little thing not to pass your car and charge too much just to change out something simple like wiper blades 🙄
@Moon Puppy this is in texas, a republican run failure of a state. Joe biden has basically no effect on the gas station owner.
It has been raining a lot and if the drop tubes leak it can get water in the tanks but the tanks usually have an alarm system to tell if the water is to high. If they don't have this system then they should stick the tank every day with water paste on the end of the measuring stick. I turns a color if water is present. Then they would have to hire a used oil truck or pump truck to suck out the water. Now if the water is under the level the pumps it can pick still be picked up and someone can still get water if the station is getting fuel because when the fuel is dropped it stirs up everything. After the fuel is dropped in about 15 to 30 minutes the water will settle back to the bottom of the tank. Water is heavier than fuel. All fuel tanks have water due to condensation but usually it is only a couple of inches and the pumps usually sit at about 12 inches but not always. I never get fuel if I see a gas truck at any gas station. The owner could have had this happen or he was buying time to get the tanks cleaned and new fuel. Now if he has an alarm system it will give past readings and the state should know this.
Thank you for that education, appreciated.
👍
Very interesting, thanks for typing it out!
No speak N english..................................
Right,epa law they have to have the alarm system, the tank is double walled with a area for salt water between the two, if that brine solution gets less salty, brine , that makes the alarm go off, the lids you drive over and the caps on the pipe to the tank is main water problem they leak it goes into tank

When you have this many people complaining about the gas it’s time to step in and shut it down until it’s right. It’s possible that the owner was getting bad gas initially and not knowing it. But…for it to continue? Needs to stop and be corrected.
When gas leaves the refinery via a truck rack, it has a chain of custody and has been tested and monitored at each point for quality "BS&W", more then likely the water content originated at the station's tanks

It was not the owner's fault it was the driver who delivered the fuel he did not check or stick to tank that's a fact
@@darlanewcomb3530
Unless the owner wasn’t keeping track of the amount of water in the tank and making sure it stayed below the level of the pick ups.
And what would the criminal charges be? But the evidence is already gone since he’s had plenty of time to drain the water out of his storage tanks.
Folks, only buy top tier gas: Shell, Chevron, Exxon, BP and Costco. Costco is great because their petro changes over often. Try to get gas from busy intersections. And that fine is bs!

This is actually a bigger problem than most realize. The majority of stations do not want to take liability or even acknowledge complaints in terms of fuel. The one I used to work at, would seep water into the tank underground. Every so often, a VERY angry customer would come in and complain about it, demanding we pay their repair bills. Our policy was to deny it/talk as little as possible about it besides saying it's beyond our control. I'm happy it is getting attention, because it made me feel horrible, with our location on a highway, to know we were probably disabling so many traveler's cars and not caring.
I buy gas strictly from "U.S. NATIVE CITIZEN" owned stations. Had far too much s- like this happen. It solved the problem too.
My son's wife is a 'native citizen', in Canada. Any car parked in their yard is fair game for having the tank drained at night- they use a cordless drill. No honour among thieves apparently.

Needs to be one hundred times that. I bet that gets a station owner's attention.
Can we say, "Small Claims Court" too? Save those receipts or get video from owner or nearby businesses.
Actually small claims court would probably be the best. Depending on what the limit is in Texas. Statements from all of the other people that got water in their gas would probably be enough evidence.
You also have footage from the TV/TH-cam report as evidence.
the mechanic that charged that lady $1300 to drain the bad gas out of her tank is the real crook
Those repair bills are outrageous. Drain the bad gas, empty the lines, and go on your way. A few hundred dollars.
It's a BMW. They probably replaced the high pressure fuel pump and other overpriced components of the fuel system. Plus it's dealer rates.

I've heard of stations mixing dry cleaning used solvents and other liquids to fuel which is a very common practice and difficult to prove without actually testing the fuel .
