| Burdick - 11/26/2024 14:06 They determined after a fuel sample was sent in that it was do to old ethanol sludge that got into the fuel system my understanding of how it was explained to me is ethanol can go bad like gas over time but the gunk from it can build up in tanks trucks anywhere where it is stored or transported
So it cost $4500 to replace the plugged up fuel filter?????
Ethanol doesn't "go bad" and it doesn't create "gunk". Any "gunk" in your fuel sample came out of dirty fuel tanks from where ever you bought the gas from. Ethanol is a wonderful tank cleaner. It will remove decades of varnish left in a fuel tank from gasoline.
If you want to blame someone, blame your fuel supplier for selling you sh_tty gas.
If I was you, I would have went to wherever you last bought gas from and obtained a sample to have compared to what came out of your pickup. I would have documented (video) the collection and what container it was put in. Probably have an eye witness on camera with you.
I say that because I now of a instance years ago that a local fuel station paid for repair work and draining gas out of several vehicles that all bought gas from the same tank/pump on the same day. No idea if they paid it themselves or if their fuel supplier paid it but I do know that the customers were paid for the damage.
