I went to the gas station to pump some gas into my Saturn Vue About $15 into the tank And I drove off I drove about 45 miles One way Will my car run sluggish and it is not just a little bit The very next day I went Back to the same gas station And they told me that their gas tanks had diesel In them And I needed to have my car checked outBut at that time most of the gas that I put in have been burned outAlso put gas in a gas can for my riding lawnmowerAnd today my lawnmower won't startAnd I still have the tank of fuel that's in my lawn mower plus the little bit that's left.Will I need to take my car to the shop and what will it cost for me to have that test it to see if it's diesel in the gas

HERE IN S.C. THE DEPT OF AGRICULTURE MONITORS WEIGHTS AND BALANCES (VOLUMES) TO INSURE YOU GET THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT THE PUMP SAYS IT WILL PUMP.

THEY ALSO MONITOR THE FUEL QUALITIES!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, BUT ON THE PUMPS (DISPENSERS) HERE HAVE THE PHONE NUMBERS OF WHO TO CONTACT SHOULD YOU HAVE A "BEEF" ABOUT QUANTITY OR QUALITY AT THE STATION. SOME AGENCY IS IN CHARGE OF THIS TASK

I HAVE SEEN 'EM SHUT A STATION DOWN WHEN THE "PLUS" WAS NOT CORRECTLY MIXED

GETTING THE BIG GUYS INVOLVED IS FREE, WILL HAVE DOCUMENTATION, THIS MIGHT HOLD MORE CLOUT SHOULD YOU SEEK DAMAGES

DOING THIS "NOW" MIGHT CATCH THE STATION RED HANDED, BEFORE THEY CAN CHANGE THINGS
