I got a load of bad gas one time, and the problem became evident not immediately, but about five or so miles down the road.

Got towed back to the small town I was visiting and left the car with a mechanic, who discovered a lot of water.

I'd just fueled up at a local station, and had a receipt.

With my receipt and the repair invoice from the mechanic I had little difficulty persuading the insurance carrier of the gas station to settle up with me for all of my damages caused by the bad gas, both actual and consequential.

As with most things in life, remember these two important words: "Just ask."
