Has anyone else had water in their fuel from DR Wells? I'm not sure it's where it came from so I'm just curious if anyone else has had a problem there? I suspect it is shell station out towards selma tbh. thanks!
How much water are we talking here? Could it be you let your gas tank go too low and condensation built up in the tank? We use dry gas every month in the winter for that reason. PS, I have gotten gas ( 8 gals each time) 5 times over the last 3 weeks at DR Wells and have had no trouble at all.
Same here, I get fuel over 3 different cars there -- only one w/an issue is one that got fuel out in selma. Problem started right after filling up at DR Wells, but I suspect the water came the night before from the other station from a partial fill up. As far as how much water, far more than condensation would permit -- 16oz sample taken right from the fuel line into the filter was ~1/3 water.
Oh that is not good. Have you called DR wells and asked them to stick the tanks to check for water? Like you said it probably came from Selma, because if it were DR then we would have heard alot more about it on here.
Highly unlikely they have water in their tanks. What kind of car do ya own? I've been filling up there often since their prices have come down with no issues. My wife's car gets 87 along with my daily driver gets the same with no issues. My toy gets 93 with no problems. I agree with the earlier comment of letting your tank stay low can cause condesation. Also if you have a evap/purge setup for your fuel tank that isn't working properly will also cause condensation. Good luck.
Was the gas station in Selma a little Mom N Pop joint? DH is in the fuel industry and will NOT let me get gas at those places. He says they have old technology...the newer places have alarms that detect water and whereas a larger store has a regular delivery schedule of fuel, the smaller ones have to sell one load before getting another. This means you get the sludge from the bottom. His theory is you never know if your getting the bottom or the top. He also tells me to try and stay away from stations that are in the process of being refueled. Everything that has settle is stirred up.
Just got gas again yesterday at Dr Wells and had no problem, so it must be the Selma place or a condensation problem.
my son got gas once in apex. water in fuel ..ck engine light came on as soon as he pulled away from station. almost two thousand dollors for repair and shop say they saved a sample of gas and took it to the office of weights and measures in raeligh. they went out and shut down pumps to inspect and found water. they made them pay my sons repair bill on his truck..
"He also tells me to try and stay away from stations that are in the process of being refueled. Everything that has settle is stirred up." very WISE advice!!!
I have heard that some Drivers have tanks at thier Homes. and they fill their tanks and replace the Gas that they steal with water so it dont show on their log books and at weigh stations. Just something I had heard over the Old C.B. Radio.
