Warning!! Bad gas in lake charles!!!
 

My wife was left stranded on the side of 210 yesterday during the rain after she tanked up at the Smokers Express Citgo on 3501 hwy 14 in lake charles yesterday. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer in lafayette. We took a fuel sample and it was 80% water and only 20% fuel.

yikes thats no good.

Woooow! Ive heard of this happening before but not recently. Must of had one of those lids leak with the weather.

Daaang! Thats not guud!

Gonna ask a dumb question here...Have you contacted the location that sold it to you? If so, are they gonna take care of you on this matter?

That's a lot of dang water!

I did contact them. He said he will call me back after he gets the fuel tested. But I'm in the process of contacting citgo corporate.

My brother lives in Austin same thing last year....store took care of Everything...

I just hope they've quit selling gas until they get this straightened out! I'd venture to guess that this was a quick intrusion of water and, they were unaware of the problem...I hope they weren't aware of it anyway!

Hopefully they handle up on the repair without a bunch of bs.

Slurpee Jockeys run that place, he lives down skreet from me. Sorry about ur bad luck, stay on them and make sure they reimburse you 100% plus inconvenience fee.

Hey Jason and Jared,see what I mean about getting water straight from the pump? Bunch of BS feds forcing us to use junk gas! I would go ape shi on that gas station untill they payed for everything.

lmao!!!!! Slurpee jockey

I see that bs now!!

I would almost bet that this is what my problem is. ****ty fuel. 95% of the time I use Jimbos or cormies for my fuel.

Ooooooohhhhh just wait. I'm known to not hold back!

I don't blame ya bro,nobody likes wasting their hard earned money. :pissed:

I will gladly take them to court if need be!! 80 in fuel plushy the quote was over 1000 to fix it!

I would be happy to help with a lawyer. My father Inlaw is a big attorney here in lake chuck. I don't mind bothering him for help or advice.

Btw I have spent over 300 bucks trying to figure out my fuel issue with my boat. It only got me stranded in w cove.

Turn a claim into ur insurance carrier and let them handle fixing the car. It will be covered under comp on auto and company will return deductible if they get reimbursed after they subrogate claim with gas stations carrier. All stations have coverage but they don't have to tell you who is covering them.
Good luck

Big as in Plus Size or works in a large firm and catches lots of amalances?

Big as in you would know him if I told you who he was. Lol.

Thanks. I will let u know if I need some help. I appreciate it!! I just hope it didn't mess it up to bad. I only have 19000 miles on that thang!

What parts were needed on the estimate?

Had the same thing happen to me in Grand Lake during the shrimp run Diffently PO my Azz. Ate the repair's but diffently let business see the repair and towing fee's.Of course the owner was not available. Spoke quite a bit foreign langage of my own to the store personal.Little or no good probably came of it. I feel your concern but the worst is yet to come.15% ethanol. Holy Shizt then brother.

It was 600ish for labor and 350 ish for the part which of course I can't remember what it was.

For that much labor sounds like the fuel pump,or a filter inside the tank.

$500 In repairs and $150 in wasted fuel.

rig rat just a little fyi my grandma bought gas from lakeveiw in longville thats between ragley and deridder about a month ago and she went two miles and it would not go any more it was almost straight water.So i went raising cane and they paid for everything she needed. There was seven or eight cars broke down in a fifteen period over that. I even got them to pay for the spark plugs because they can foul from it. It can do a lot of damage...

After the runaround for a hour. Finally talked to someone and they said they will take care of it for us.

Good deal. I'm sure the runaround part was verifying that the gas came from there. I wonder how many people put crap that's been in the shed for 3 years in their cars and try to blame it on a service station?:spineyes:
