My other concern is that you were told it was 70% water yet you were able to drive more than a block. You are so focused on trying to place blame on the gas station you are missing (or ignoring) that the extensive repairs were probably not required.
Yes, I would certainly hold the station responsible if I learned I had bad fuel from them. I actually have and told the story on here a year or so ago. You need to get the sample from the dealer, contact the appropriate agency for you State and follow the process. Asking people if they had other complaints is not the way to do this.

I think you misunderstood me when I said I was going to get proof of complaints. By "complaints", I meant other people whose car broke down because of bad gas they got that day. In other words, I want to see if I'm the only one who was affected by the diluted gas. The ultimate goal is to get them to admit fault and pay for the damages, and if they are getting multiple reports of broken cars from that single day then they will be more pressured to take responsibility. While we've been discussing on here I've been making phone calls and I'm pretty sure I've found the supply company who sells the oil to that specific station.
And as I've been saying, the reason why I was able to get home was because I already had fuel in the tank when I filled up. The water that was in the bad fuel wouldn't have had time to sink down and corrupt the system in a matter of 5 minutes.
I get what you're trying to say though. It is entirely possible that the dealership is being stupid and doing unnecessary things, but I will decide that once I meet the technician in person, see the bill and get a detailed explanation of everything that was done. The only known right now is that the fuel was bad, so that's the immediate problem that I'm trying to take care of.
