Yikes!

This sounds like sabotage. Texaco wouldn't do it...they're a good gas company.

I suspect something like polystyrene or another plastic that will dissolve in gasoline. Sounds to me like this station needs better locks on its tank caps.

Nasty business, for sure, and Texaco's going to have to make good on all the repairs.

If there is water in the gas it is possible for bacteria to grow. The biomass will appear thick and if it gets sucked into the injectors it will clog them.

One fuel injector will cost 50 to 100 dollars, plus labor. On my car, $58*8 is $464 plus tax (my own labor is free). Yer damn right Texaco would be paying.

A lesson: always save your gas receipts. People who didn't, will have a hard time proving they got gas there.

Maybe somebody dumped a couple of boxes of orange latex gloves in the station's tanks.

Gasoline is a hazardous material, which can only be transported and disposed of by a few contractors. Costs can range from $200 to $700 for disposal.

Good Grief, I will get rid of that "bad" gasoline for them for just $150.00 each car.

I'm in the wrong business it seems.
