There has been several reports of people getting water in fuel from the Shell Station/ Liquor store right off Trail 12 next to Mexican restaurant.

Particularly the Premium grade 93 Octane. Apparently the regular grade is OK

That said I only get fuel at the Pilot or TA Shell across I75 from it.

Now this is interesting, we have been having the same problem with a Shell station on the Missouri River in South Dakota.

I saw 2 outboard motors this week that purchased 93 Octane containing water. One motor was a 150 HP and blew up. The other was a 300 HP and is severely damaged, barely runs.

Heard reports of others, but did not witness them.

Got to wonder if it is being done by Shell ?
