I'd act quick and get compensated from the gas station. If it really was the culprit, then there are going to be more along with you.
Quote:
In most cases of contaminated gas, the fuel supplier will recall it and put information on their website on how to make a damage claim. Typically you will have to provide proof that you purchased contaminated gasoline, usually a receipt will suffice. The fuel supplier should cover the cost of your damage but it can be a grueling process and there is no guarantee of rental car coverage if your car is in the shop for an extended period of time.
Filling up with contaminated gasoline can be a frustrating and costly headache. Check with your insurer to see if you have coverage under the comprehensive portion of your policy, if not you will have to pursue the fuel supplier for damages.

Keep your receipt for the gas, and know the pump number and exact time and date of the purchase. Immediately call the state’s weights and measures inspectors (often part of the state Department of Agriculture), and ask them to send an inspector right away.
