Chevron Bad Gas

Chevron Has Bad Gas!!!

I have recently had a major problem with a particular Chevron Gas Station here in Fresno at 4021 So. Maple. I put $5 worth a regular gas & within 10 minutes my car was bogging down spurting & cutting out. I could not even start it the next day & my mechanic had to tow it into his shop. He noticed that I had put Diesel Gas in my car & told me that it would cost $500 to fix. I went back to that station thinking maybe I made a mistake & put in the wrong gas, but the nozzle couldn't even fit so it would be impossible for that mistake to happen.

I took the receipt to my gas & Mechanic's bill to Mike Martin at the Chevron office & he denied me. I know without a doubt that I put Diesel Gas in my tank from this station!

I was told that 7-8 Months ago that the same thing happened to many other customers at this same location.

What can I do to warn others so that they don't have to go through all the headaches & mechanics bills that I had to endure because of their bad gas? I am considering protesting with signs in front of there Gas Station, but I am not sure how to go about it.

I am mad & outraged at this Big Gas Company taking advantage of the little guy!

Filled up at our local Chevron station on Friday and drove straight home. Next day our Durango would not stay running. It would start, then have very erratic RPM, up and down until it drops and the engine dies. Won't make it out of my driveway.

So what was the result? I have the same situation and have started a Small Claims action given that Chevron simply said, "Could not happen". They have safeguards and could not give bad gas or deisel instead of regular.

Forget the signs - they will only get you in trouble. If you have a receipt for the gas and if you save a sample of your bad gas, you have a case against the station. Gov. agencies can help, or you could use small claims court.
