I have a pretty good idea of what happened.

We were running low on fuel, so we stopped at a shell station in a less than ideal area of town. So I went in and just got $20, enough to get us home and another day or so.

I start pumping, and about $9 in the pump shut off. The pump had run out of fuel. So I put it up, got a refund and left. But we had gotten everything that was at the bottom of the tank.

The next day I filled it up, and everything was fine for about a week.


I have already started a claim with insurance, so now it is just up to the adjuster. If all goes well, I will still be out my deductible and my insurance company can handle the claim against the gas station.

My main point is the price. I can buy a Kia for what they are charging to repair this. I mean, do I really need a new fuel tank for $3k???? Can't they just rinse that thing out?
