    Mga Sirs/Madams,

    Share naman po kayo technique kung paano kayo nakaka iwas sa gas stations na may halong tubig or sand ang kinakarga sa inyo???

    Style ko kasi is rotating sticking to 4 different branches to avoid this... kaso malas ko lang last week after opening the carb nung magloko yung Mazda ito ang nakita sa loob
    1) may deposit ng pinong pinong sand sa loob na halos 1/3 ng kutsarita sa dami
    2) napuno ng tubig idle valve

    Problem now hindi ko ma determine kung sino may kasalanan sa 4 na branch pa konswelo na lang ata ang maka kuha ng coke for every 2,000 fill pero nakaka inis lang talaga sa abala :boom1:

    Never pa nangyari sakin yan. Hmm. How about a bad looking gas station? Or halos lahat ng jeep dun nagpapagas. Sorry wala ako masyadong idea.

    hindi ba mas advisable na 1 station lang parati magpa pump? para mas mabilis ma-pinpoint kung magka problem

    I normally gas up sa isang gas station lang. etong malapit samin.

    so kung magkaproblema man madali ko mapipin point, the station where i don't normally gas up agad ang suspect.

    Iwas ka sa station na madumi yung surroundings, pag malinis yung gas station less prone na napapasukan ng alikabok yung gas pumps nila.

    1. Stick to reputable gas stations.
    2. Pick ones with high activity, meaning always ubos ang stock ergo parating bago ang fuel. (So di naman masama kung lahat ng jeep dun nagpapa-gas)
    3. However, do not refuel when you see the tanker at the gas station. Why? When the underground tank has just been refilled, the sediments below are stirred because of the current created by the hose filling the tank making the chance of the said sediments to reach your car's fuel tank.
    4. Do not refuel in gas stations that are prone to flooding as flood water can seep in the underground tanks.

    yun pa lang muna

    Alamin mo kung yun gas station ay nasa bahaing area. Pag nasa bahaibg area yun gas station, mosy likely eh binabaha din sila pag malakas na ang ulan.

    Madalas kasi sir umikot ako between Lipa City, Alabang, Las Pinas, and Makati area. I just choose stations na malapit kung halos 1/4 na laman ng tank pero specific na yung 4.... Kapag tsumamba nga lang talaga oo

    a couple of decades back, gas pumps had a glass bowl or sight glass on the side of the pump cabinet that make you see the fuel going through the pump to your car. now, it is a hit or miss specially if the gas station's underground tanks are still those made of steel and is corroded. the standard in the u.s. as required by the environmental protection agency is that the tanks be made of composite material that would resist developing cracks when there is an earthquake and that they do not corrode allowing contaminants from getting into the fuel likewise the fuel seeping into the ground

    You have no way of knowing really. Not unless you get an open pail and have the gas boy fill it up and visually check for impurities. That is if kung papayag yung gas boy. I gas up at the newest station that I can find. That, or I just revert to my suking gas station and have a full tank before I go anywhere.
