Pumping Fuel From Flooded Fuel Stations

[jayanathkarunarathna]

Hi All,

Is there any risk of pumping fuel from flooded fuel stations? Is there any possibility of leaking water in to storage tanks?

Possible water contamination,yes. How about starting a list of fuel-stations which have good stocks,

1. probably pump from places which were not affected by the floods

i think most of the fuel stations along the Galle road are not affected by flood.

One of my friends car stalled when he pumped petrol from the station in between boralesgamuwa junc and the lake. It was way before the floods and as far as i know that area has no flood threat either. It was after a heavy rainy day and the tanks were filled with water.Somehow my friend was able to claim the damages through the owner and it cost him nearly 16k for the whole thing. (Maruti Zen). Be careful if you happen to pump gas from this place as i don't know whether they have repaired it properly.
