It appears that this only happened at one station, specifically franchise station #8894 in the San Miguel area of Sauzal.

That's the last station before the toll booth. It looks new, but I think there was a station there before they rebuilt it. It may still have the old
tanks under ground.

Its very simple someone forgot to turn off the water hose in the tank, they know how much they can add someone just goofed.

I usually use one of the two earlier ones when heading North because I generally cross @ Tecate every time.

me.

One of my engine warning lights came on shortly after I filled up at Jesus Maria (the bay nearest the tamale huts). After I got home and did some
research on what the warning light might mean, the result was bad gas or water in the gas. Advice was to use one of the gas additives that will
remove water, which I did. Haven't seen the warning light since.

Years ago we put Wood Alchol in the gas tank to help with the water. You probably mever heard of Drip gasoline It had some water in it.

P0430 had it pop twice. once after filling at the station in Viz and once after buying 10 gallons from the pangueros at Spot X. i have since replaced
all 4 02 sensors as they are a wear item and only last +/- 100k each.
