Diesel Gas @ Unleaded Pump

I was in a small east Texas town and few months ago and purchased gas
at a convenience store/gas station. My car (2001 Toyota Camry) spit
and sputtered all the way back home. The next day it would not crank
at all! Upon having it towed to a dealership, I was told the tank
would have to be dropped and drained because there was diesel fuel in
the tank. I am certain I did not purchase gas from the diesel pump,
because it is located away from the unleaded pumps. Well, I ended up
spending $1100.00 to repair my car. Is there anyone out there that has
had this problem. What recourse do I have? Is there a state or
federal agency where I can file a complaint? (I live in Texas) I
went back to the station, and was told that that could have never
happened with their gas, because it is tested biweekly. Well, it
happened, because it was the only place I got gas and it didn’t happen
until I filled up there---Somebody plz help!

You might take out a ad in the paper for starters to see if any one
else had this problem because if yu can get a few others it will give
you a LOT of leverage.

Put an add in the local newspaper and ask if anyone else got
diesel fuel, instead of gas, out of that pump that day, WBMA

If they did call my law firm, Dewey, Cheatum and Howe and ask
for attorney Dewey
