Also, if you do post the text of it, others will be able to find this page and learn from your experience – and that could prevent them from repeating your mistakes.

Sorry I don’t have any better news for you.

Those tanks should be inspected.<br/><br/>Best wishes to you in resolving this matter. Dear Mr./Ms. Fitzgerald,

Do call an attorney in your area before you proceed. The laws are different in each state and just because Meijer says you have no recourse, doesn’t necessarily make it true.

Also, the problem with your vehicle could well be just a clogged fuel filter if the mechanic neglected to replace it when he made the other repairs. It’s fairly cheap to replace. So, don’t start to panic, yet.

I do have one final thought. If you had that much water in your gas tank, it’s obvious to me (I used to be a station manager) that the tanks at that particular station may have ground water leaking into them. Which could indicate the tanks are damaged.

Please consider contacting the Ohio Attorney General’s office and perhaps even the Department of Weights and Measures office. Those tanks should be inspected.

Best wishes to you in resolving this matter.
