Is this a common issue?…the repair part?
Story is:
last week Thursday during the rainstorm, delivery gas truck driver left cap/lid open after fueling underground tanks and he drove away & water poured in.
My wife drops by to fill up but was in a hurry & only gets 4 gallons.
Next day (Friday) her vehicle slow starts but runs. Saturday it won’t start, it has plenty of battery to turn over but just won’t.
I call my mobile mechanic & he immediately identifies it as a fuel pump problem & also siphons out some gas…sure enough water in the gas.
He says gas stations have insurance for this & that I should go talk with them about Reimbursement for the repair bills.
I’m doubting they’ll be any help but sure enough we walked in tonight & the inside station attendee was helpful & said others had also come by with issues and they would pay for our repairs….[emoji3]
Anyone else had similar experiences?
Here’s a pic of a crew recovering the tainted fuel from the underground tanks
