Ask a petrolium tech

I have a local station that regularly dispenses water with gas. They told me it was not possible. Then I pumped 5 gallons I to a clear container- 25% water. They took it from me and intimidated me with 5 huge *************. Corporate didn't care and deferred me to the owner, who denied all.. What's my next move?
I'm convinced they are trying to balance the perfect ratio water to gas, without being caught.
single cylinder motorcycles are much more sensitive to this than the average honda accord.

I have seen numerous tanks with water in them, I have never seen water get into a car. It's not in a stations best interest to mess with their gas...
It all comes from the same holding tank at the transfer station. Additives/ethanol are added while loading the truck.

Keep in mind that the underground tanks rarely get replaced. 20-30+ years is not uncommon. Even if the station has a new building/pumps/etc the tanks might be 20 years old still.

They get replaced when they plug and people complain that the pump goes slow.
Filters are not a requirement. There is no way to tell from the outside of a dispenser weather or not they have filters.
Some of the filters have the ability to detect water and phase separation. They have media that swells up and stops the flow of fuel when they do. Probably 50% or more sites around here have that type of filter.

Blending was a big thing back in the 90s and early 2000s, then everyone figured out they need deliveries more often, pumps break down and have more issues, not as accurate, etc.
