The gas station located at the address 6191 Dr Martin Luther King Jr St S, St Petersburg, FL 33705 has water in it's gasoline. The store changes its name frequently, in the past 10 years it has been owned by almost every major gas chain.
Just shy of a year ago they had extensive work done to their gas tanks under ground. I started having issues with my vehicle stalling out when it was idling and the problem only became worse with time. The gas station is located 2 blocks from my house and is so convenient to go to that I always bought my gas there on the way home or on the way out.
I drive an old van and the issues seemed like they were mechanical, after replacing everything under the sun someone suggested it might be bad gasoline. The gas tank was removed and dumped into several buckets and there was about 5 gallons of water in my 30 gallon tank.
I thought it may have been possible my van had a leak that let water into the tank, but after looking at a semi-clear five gallon boat engine tank with gas from the same station I can see the water line in it (it's not ethanol, it won't burn).
I live in the poor side of town, so aside from rude cashiers and horrible customer service at fast food chains, there's bad gas. Is there a way to report them to some kind of gas regulations place? Someone should, all I could find is this site.
