Contaminated fuel from Shell station

[paul_1]

Hello,

On February 5th, 2008, I’ve filled my car gas tank with a contaminated gasoline from the Allentown PA Shell station at 1537 N. Cedar Crest, which is owned by Top Star Inc.
My car would stall and loose power. My BMW dealer informed me that there was rust in the fuel and that the repair cost will be around $950… and today, a day later they also informed me there is another customer that filled his tank from the same gas station on the same day and his car damage is even more extensive. Yesterday, I’ve called Top Star
and Bob B. said that no one called him about any car problems from using his fuel and that the dealer is lying to me and that he will defend “vigorously” if I try to sue him.
Can anyone offer me a word of advice what would be a best thing to do?

Thanks,
Paul

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but if you think you have a strong case, I say that you file a lawsuit. It might be hard to prove though. I suppose having multiple people with the same complaint might help. The other thing to consider is that you will be spending a lot of your time fighting for $950. Depending on the length of the lawsuit and how much trouble it would be, you might consider just biting the bullet and never going to that station again. Good luck.
