Auto insurance policies do not cover bad gas in your car.

So if you got bad gas in your cars gas tank from pumping the bad gas at a gas station and the gas station was at fault for the bad gas then the gas stations insurance should cover the cost of the repairs to your vehicle.

If you got bad gas at a gas station then you need to contact that gas station and make a report with them so they can file a claim with their insurance company.

Then the insurance company of the gas station should pay you money for repairs on your vehicle due to the bad gas.

This is what happened to me when a gas station here got diesel fuel into a gas tank from a driver who put diesel into a gas tank when delivering fuel to the gas station.

The gas stations insurance paid for the repairs to my car but I had to pay out of pocket first and then get the money later.
