      Charging $ 1,500 is excessive. From what little of the bill I can see, they replaced the fuel pressure regulator, changed the engine oil + other stuf. In the short term, water in gas will not affect fuel system parts and not contaminate the oil. They charged him $ 150.00 for an oil change.

      lol they don't do it on purpose. they don't upkeep their tank. they are still liable for the damages but I guarantee those tanks are messed up and the station was to cheap to fix it. That's why you never fill up when the fuel truck is there as the water on gas sits at the top.

    Same thing happened to me several years ago at a Shell gas station near my home. Same as this gentleman, I rarely went there but on that day I went my Jeep started sputtering and kept stalling. I called the station and I asked the lady who answered "Have you guys had any reports of bad gasoline?" and she said "Hold on....(yelling in the background) We got another one!" and then the manager came to the phone and said yes water was in the tanks. I had to have it flushed and kept the gas/water mixture as well. At least they acknowledged and paid for it.

    As a mechanic, I can tell you the charges for those repairs are a scam. A majority of the repair is dropping the fuel tank to get the water out and cleaned, disconnect the fuel lines up front to blow out or flush the lines out with fresh gas and add a fuel system cleaner. Technically no parts needed other than a new seal for the fuel pump to make sure it doesn't leak when reinstalled.

Not wanting to damage my car I took it to the dealership where I purchased the car. I asked for a sample of the replaced oil. They brought back a sample of the oil that was inside my engine and the service tech said my oil had not been changed for a very long time and that I should get my oil changed more regularly.

      @@finally97 States have minimum tolerances on the amount of water that is acceptable in a tank. Some states have 0.5" some states have 1.5" of water that is acceptable. These tolerances are also based on the size of the tank. Anything above, fuel has to be stopped from being sold and deliveries are no longer made.
      A Class C certified person (Usually the store owner/manager or above are Class C) then documents this in their internal log (Which was missing at this station, according to the news report) and call their petro contractor. This Petro contractor will then pump the water out, and check where the water came into the tank from fix that leak.
      They will also inspect each pump to see if water is in the lines. If there is water in the line, those pumps are purged, filters inside the pump replaced, then purged, then filters are replaced again, signed and dated of when they were replaced. Then the pumps are calibrated to the correct amount of fuel dispensed according to the screen. (If screen says gallon the amount coming out of the nozzle must be a gallon not to the hose). This calibration spot gets a new wire with a metal state seal that has to be broken to be removed (In case someone wants to mess with the calibration)
      Most gas stations in the city have an electronic tank reader, that monitors the level of fuel and water in each tank. If water is above that tolerance level, they will start beeping loudly. The only ones that I haven't seen them in are local stores in far rural towns.

      Pump systems aren't like that anymore. The pump is below ground in thestorage tank now, has been for over 3 decades. As for the device standing there on the concrete island, yeah, we call it a pump, but only in name. Used to be, each "pump" had its own pump in the bottom compartment, so if you turned on either side, the pump came to life. If 2 hoses were dispensing at a time, it went a bit slower. Now, with the actual pump down in the tank, and it's a higher volume pump, one big pump can feed fuel to several heads at one time. The only power needed at the head, would be to light up any lights in it, run the onboard computer, and serve the network that all the "pumps" are tied to the main kiosk in the building with. So if one "pump" is powered, they're all powered. That's why they put garbage bags over the hose gun to keep people from grabbing and using certain units.
      That said, I'm not defending these boneheads who have serious water problems in their fuels, I'm just trying to explain roughly how things work in modern filling stations.

    Had a gas station once accidentally put diesel fuel in a gasoline tank. Then when it did a $1,000 of damage to my car refuse to admit their mistake. They even had swapped the receipt to say diesel to cover their F up, but forgot that diesel filling handles are larger and can't be fit into a gasoline downspout. I went back to the station, and showed the pump showed "Gas", but the receipt showed "Diesel" into a gas can. That won my lawsuit, but it should have never gotten to that point.

    Station owner probably has a friend or relative that owns the repair shop down the road lol.

    1:49 The bill is $1,425.55 4:12 Her bill is $3,200. I think there is more than one thief in this video. That woman should find a new mechanic and take him to court, too.

    Wow, more than a thousand dollars to disconnect the fuel line from the rail, turn the key on and off, for about 5 minutes to pump the water out from the bottom of the tank using the gas tank's internal pump? That's the real scam here.

    I worked for 3 years at a gas station and I had to check the tanks for water EVERY SHIFT
    EVERY SHIFT IS SUPPOSED TO STICK THE TANKS WITH THE WATER DETECTION GEL ON THE STICK. They are not doing what is required
    These tanks are leaking into the ground

    I'm an Army veteran and receipt/distributing fuel was part of my job. A dirty little secret that gas companies don't want you to know about is the delivery trucks DO NOT have filtering systems. About 1/4 of what they have in their trucks is WATER. B-12 Chemtool will remove water from your fuel tank, it should be regularly added to your fuel tank NO MATTER where you get fuel. The filters on the pumps at your local gas station are only meant to trap SOLIDS, not water.

    • @kellycelestin1
      @kellycelestin1 Před měsícem +2

      Wow. Thank you for this information! How much much of the B-12 Chemtool do I use for a full tank of gas?

    This has happened to me multiple times after filling up getting down the road and the vehicle dies.Never pump gas when you see the tanker truck at a gas station because they stir up all the water at the bottom of their tanks.Years ago we had to stick the tanks at the station every night and check the level and see how much water was at the bottom.

    Not surprising to hear about a company ripping off the public while at the same time charging them a arm and a leg.
