Default How much bad luck can one have?
Woke up this morning to continue my job search....get in my truck it would not start. This truck has never gave me any engine problems. Check the common things and nothing. More I thought about it I had just pumped some gas on before I parked it last night. Take a fuel sample and guess what....nothing but water! Had to drain 15 gallons worth of water/gas before it would fire up. Just got back from the gas station I filled up at and they won't do anything about it. They say trouble comes in 3's so hopefully that is the last straw.

Ryan, who is the distributor for that gas station? Call the distributor and see what they will do. If at a local store, sometimes they don't on the pumps and the distributor does.

Find out, it can make a difference. The tanks should be gauged and water cut before and after each filling.

Montauk, by my experience, I would use caution when asking how much bad luck one person could have!...It never ended well for me!

Just take the bumps that life gives ya and call em future rewards! If nothin else, it'll make ya feel better!
