    Damn, “insert any” shady small town gas station owner finally moved to Edmonton.

    Reminds me of Cathay Pacific Flight 780. Salt water got into the fuel and ended up crippling both engines mid flight.

  3. How is it possible that gasoline tanks don’t have sensors to detect water intrusion… ?

  4. Honestly, if I didn’t have so much to lose, there’d be another united healthcare CEO on our hands. I’m getting tired of these corporations fucking around with the “little man” we’re just out here, trying to live our lives as comfortable as we can, and we’re constantly getting curb stomped. When will it end? Do things have to get violent in order for a certain group of people to get the message?

    Why is this happening recently in Canada? These gas station owners deserve hefty fines and jail time

  6. Two esso stations, on in Springwater Ontario, and another in Midland Ontario, about 20 minutes away from each other, have both been shut down because of water in the gas. What’s with Esso?

    You would think you’d check after your sales doubled the delivered amount.

  8. we really need to do a better job as a society of teaching critical thinking to people

    like – the idea that the gas had been watered down on purpose by the person who would be most liable for the damage is REALLY not the sensible conclusion here

    its the ‘dog snapping at a newspaper’ conclusion

  9. Ah in the good old days that ment the underground tank leached out and contaminated the ground.

    Gas station should be held responsible for damages and repairs. This is the second case I hear of.

  11. That’s part of the “Alberta won’t be paying tax” thing right? Pay for gas, get extra water on top! What a deal!

  12. So our cars can run on 50% water and no one told us? Why not a vehicle that runs on 100% water, or has that been hidden from us too? Guess the conspiracy people were right. It probably does exist!
