You my friend need to wake up from the dream world you're living in. Because there's no way in BP or Exxon is going to pay a $12k repair bill because you claim "bad fuel".
My experience with major brands is, upon presentation of solid evidence, paid promptly.
FYI, I have also been paid promptly by major suppliers (e.g. Allied-Signal) when solid evidence of failure of their component was presented to them.
They were all more than fair.
Example of a solid "bad fuel" claim.
Tank nearly empty, XYZ pulls up to ABC Major Brand Diesel Station.
Engine, everything running fine.
Fills up with full tank of ABC Major Brand Diesel.
Engine starts, coughs, then dies, WIF light comes on.
Immediately towed to dealer, who discover 10+ gallons of water in fuel tank.
Contacted ABC Major Brand Corporate immediately.
(In background, ABC halts sale of suspect fuel from that pump, then sends out tech to check, and alas, find tank half full of water).
ABC Major Brands gulps...
And Pay.
What also helps:
No previous claims history (or similar claims).
No lawyer involved.
No claims for damages, etc.
Limited out of pocket claim (just the frigging bill, not padded).
No nonsense.
Ford claimed water is Ric's fuel...Did BP or Exxon pay the $12k for the repair?
I would question if there was any significant water in Ric's fuel. Maybe when the pump goes south, the water light comes on??? just wondering.
