Bad Gasoline: Don't rule it out
-
Get all that shit out. Fill up with a few gallons of good gas. Add some injector cleaner. Start car.
I'd be pissed.

Did you sue?

Happened to my dad once with his 540i. Made it one block until the car quit from sludge sucked from the bottom of the tanks. Repair shop admitted fault and fixed the car in house.
Did your dad sue?

I was able to find the claim number so now I am cracking skulls. The adjuster is at a conference until next Monday so she will enjoy the countless voicemail's I left on her machine upon return. I totaled everything including the cost of towing and its well over $700.

Easier said than done. I drained the tank and bled the lines but it still wont even hiccup when starting. Its probably all fouled out from me trying to start it. I live in an apartment complex so its not that easy to get rid of 20 gallons of gasoline and I didn't even have enough containers to put it in. I called the Grafton waste department and they charge 85 cents a pound for fuel. Gas weighs about 6 pounds per gallon so it would cost me $102 just to get rid of the gas... THAT IS TWICE AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR IT!!! My general manger at work ended up giving enough 1 and 2 gallon containers to drain it but that took a lot of time.

Pour it in the gutter.

The apartment complex pool sounded better and better last night when my shitty upstairs neighbor kids thought that my ceiling was a bowling alley. Chlorine.. Gasoline... they are both poisonous and end in "ine" so whats the difference right?

Pool praty at Mr Strugglebean's
That's one I am surprised I haven't heard before. If only I had 55 more posts to make the name change...

It evaporates pretty fast. Just drain that shit on the ground.

We can have a bonfire at my parents
All it takes is a simple google search to realize that 20 gallons of gas + bonfire is a horrible idea. But willing to try nonetheless.

If you are waiting on an adjuster then stop touching your car! I deal with this stuff at work and the second a customer starts messing with things it all starts to go downhill. Leave it as is and save all receipts. If you need a rental find out if their insurance will cover it. If you miss any time at work make sure you have it documented and get a letter from your employer with the dates missed.

I have not been able to get a hold of the lady so I have no clue what the hell is going on and the gas station owner keeps telling me to deal with the insurance. I can't wait a month without a car for the people at the insurance company to get their shit together. I kept all my receipts so far though and fortunately I am using a family vehicle. My biggest worry is that since it is an older vehicle with high mileage that they are going to say it is totaled so that they don't need to pay out as much.

I understand the hardship but I would advise you to not do anything that may give the insurance company cause to deny your claim. After that it's a slippery slope. They're usually pretty good about this stuff. Do you know the name of the insurance company?

What is their name and where did they touch you?
Is there a lawsuit yet?

It's Acuity insurance. Kohler is right next door and I almost feel like walking into the place but I'm sure they wouldn't let me. And could they really deny my claim if it was proven to be bad fuel by the state tests and I have receipts? Or are you saying that they will try to say that I made it worse?

Well I got the car started. It runs extremely rough as if it were only firing on 5 cylinders and it throws a lambda 2 code on acceleration. So it could be basically anything air/fuel/electrical related.
