Buddy is now driving a ticking time bomb
A friend of mine has a 2012 2500 HD Duramax 4x4. He filled it up the other day at a local gas station, then was driving around running errands, driving it to work, etc. I don't have all the detail...

I am not sure that collecting pint jars of fuel makes any sense. Basically if you have proof you bought fuel there (credit card receipt or statement)you have already collected a "sample" in your pickup. If there is an issue you will know before you blow through the tank, and even if you didn't, I am not sure that your "pint jar" will really stand up to any type of judicial scrutiny anyway. What is to say you didn't "make your own" sample of contaminated fuel.
When these fuel stations have issues, there are many people impacted, and the word spreads as made apparent by this thread. The station is going to have a hard time refuting numerous bad fuel claims. They will dip their storage tanks and it is what it is. Regardless of where or not you have your own sample in a jar. The incident in Jamestown, ND sounded pretty straight forward, they got water in the diesel somehow and the damage claims started rolling in. I assume they have insurance for such things.
