Sorry to hear about that.

they wont let you pump your own gas?

 

it's illegal to pump your gas in new jersey.

 

good lesson for the rest of us but sucks the big one for you.

 

i feel for yah man im lucky i can pump my own gas

 

Sorry man. Sucks.

 

im sorry to hear about the engine man. i cant stand how we cant pump our own gas hear! its so retarted. there have been a few times when im on my bike and the guy will try to fill it up for me and i told him to give me the damn thing as i would do it my self haha.

 

im with blacksupra93 i would contact a lawyer and see were you could stand since you cant pump your own gas it says right on the fuel filler hole premium only for dumb shits that pump your gas.

 

what a bummer wow i think i would take some legal actions on the gas station... Good Luck Man

 

That's a bad story. Sorry to hear about that. Sometimes I really feel they pay these stupid asses too much - even at their measly hourly rate they get now.

 

wow.... now thats pretty ridiculous

 

Wow, that sucks. Sorry to here it. I had one fo the idiots in NJ fill my Supra with regular and then turned to my buddy on the other side who has a fully built Integra and do the same thing when he asked for Ultra. I was kinda nice about it, being in public and all, but my buddy went ballistic. First off he only asked for $10 just so he could get it back to the shop after messing around on the highway so he could put C16 in it and the guy filled it. He made the place give him 6 octane boosters for free to put in the tank and then made them give me 6 also. Was real funny, but i felt stupid for talking to my friend instead of looking at the pump to be sure.

 

sucks. i pump my own gas they usually dont say anything to me. im too impatient to wait for those idiots most of the time. never use sonoco gas ever again, i ve had tons of problems with the 94 before

 

never use sonoco gas ever again, i ve had tons of problems with the 94 before

please explain as this has been my pump fuel of choice.

 

Thats a case you SHOULD be able to win with no problem if you have the receipt.

 

once again, how am i going to prove that it was the supra that i filled up? i know they tape everything but i i don't think they would give me the tape. my buddy was with me tho.

 

Damn that sucks man. If some idiot told me i cant pump my own gas i'll be like fuck that shit. Can i assume that your APU? if you are then i dont think you got a chance on winning any case. Reason being they can blame any of the upgrades you did as the thing that cause the end result and not just their gas. Even though we all know that he was a fucking idiot that put 87 in your Supra.

 

yeah, i'm apu++ tell you the truth wouldn't even try. they would definitely blame it on my mod's.

 

Man..... this fucking sucks to the max.. ill eb fucking pissed asnd sad for months to come... if you cant gain anything out of that station cause of maybe your mods or not enought proof etc... i would like go put the place on fire or something.. brake all their windows or someshit... i know its dumb but you gotta relieve anger somehow.. thats what i would do... but try and fight that bitch, and if your APU and still have stock twins, swap it back for a hwile, 10hrs worth of work for a fighting case in which your more likely to win if yout not modded, is better than 1000hrs worth of work to replace everything.. Goodluck bro

 

don't have the stock turbos, or any thing stock for that matter. only thing thats stock on my car is the body and radiator. lol

edit:yes i am running a aem.

 

That's what I feared. Of all the things I did to my car - 71GTQ/1000cc/Head porting/etc etc etc - AEM is the one thing I refused to do for just this reason. While it has it's limitations, having the stock ECU default to pulling timing when conditions go south is something I would never give up. Especially when the MAP ECU 2 has the ability to alter timing, which to me is the largest benefit of a standalone over a piggyback. Yes, we all know the stocker alters closed loop timing with larger injectors, but that's a headache I'll chose to deal with.

Just my .02, but no matter what I hope the car comes back better than ever! :bigthumb:

 

Thats crazyness! If you would of asked me if there were any states that had that kind of law i would of told you, you were crazy! And we even own a Gas station here in WI!

 

That is a pretty dumb law? What is the reasoning behind it?

I'm not sure if it's exactly a "law" or not, but NJ is a full service gas station. On top of that, we probably have one of the cheapest $/gallon in the nation .

im with blacksupra93 i would contact a lawyer and see were you could stand since you cant pump your own gas it says right on the fuel filler hole premium only for dumb shits that pump your gas.

Gas attentants don't read the thing nor do they care. If they hear regular, super, etc, that's what they put. I usually double check when they press the button to check on the grade of the gas being pumped.

Thats a case you SHOULD be able to win with no problem if you have the receipt.

I wouldn't go that far. There's nothing he can prove if there's anything to be proven, and any judge is stupid to even hear this case. There are many factors determining a blown motor, and who's to say the gas was what did it (and with the timeframe).

 

ya i was wondering why they wont let you pump your own gas. thats odd.

 

Gas theft? No pre-pay?

 

Yea same here.. .Whats up with that law.

 

wow that sux man what a dumbass

 

Seems like a fairly easy case to win. If it's like any other gas station, they'll have you on video camera talking to the guy.

 

That sucks!!. Go figure Jersey. What will they do if you pump yourself? I have pumped myself in jersey and I was wondering why everyone was looking at me like I had 25 heads, but this is the exact reason I jumped out and pumped before the douche came and tried himself. I didnt want cheapo gas in my Evo. After I pumped I paid the guy and took off but they did look dumb founded lol.

This same thing has happend to quite a few Evo owners in Jersey

 

wow....that blows i guess i will be paying attention when they fill the supra from now on.....

it might be a little hard to fight the case now cause it happened in october...but hey you never know....i mean you have a witness and evidence sounds like you have burdens of proof to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. clear and convincing evidence, and preponderance of the evidence.

sounds good to me you should contact a lawyer, "hey you never know"

 

Lol calm down there champ this would be a negligence case, not a criminal case. So the last burden of proof you mentioned would apply, that is by a showing of the perponderance of the evidence. It's a less strict standard and flows on a matter of persuasion. You'll have to prove duty, breach, injury and cause.

Also, since it's Jersey law that attendants, not customers, do the pumping, there may be a matter of negligence pro se (I don't know for sure because I haven't checked the books on this law). Negligence pro se is the breach of a duty established by a statute. But then again, there comes a question of the typicality of such an injury from such a breach.

If you can get your hands on those tapes, you still have a lot of work to do. You'll have to prove they were the ones that actually did the pumping, that they breached, by pumping an inapprorpriate grade, a duty to pump the premium, and that it was in fact this specific incident that was the proximate cause of the injury. They also have a few defenses themselves. To me, this sounds more than steep as there are still more proofs to be made than the ones I just prattled off. But again, anything any of us say here is mere conjecture. I'm not an attorney and if you want a better and qualified opinion goto one

 

Illegal to pump your own gas...WTF i have never heard of that shit..Hope you get it taken car of..Get lawyer to get it straighted out man.
