MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman said bad gas was to blame for her $1,000 repair bill.

The woman told WREG mechanics said they found something other than gas in her tank.

She blamed a local gas station for causing the problem.

She said she purchased it at Raleigh Millington Road and Frayser Boulevard and minutes later she started having problems.

“My car started hesitating. It wouldn’t give up speed and it started jerking,” said Tameka Steele.

Steele immediately took her 2013 Convertible Mustang back to the Millington dealership where she just got an oil change and her water pump replaced.

She thought the dealership caused the problem until the mechanic showed her a jug full of what he said was gas with mostly water he siphoned out of her gas tank.

The repairs cost almost $1,000.

“I think the gas station owner should be responsible and held accountable for this,” said Steele.

Steele showed us the receipt where she paid for gas at Rass Food Market in Raleigh on Monday.

She believed the bad gas came from there.

The man working in the store told WREG his gas was good and no other customers complained.

“Since she pumped, over 300 people came and got gas,”the cashier said.

Steele admited she’s was almost on empty when she bought gas that day.

WREG found out moisture can build up in your fuel line when you’re low on gas but she didn’t think it would be that much.

“I don’t want anybody else to go through this situation that I’m going through,” she said.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture said it didn’t have any complaints from other customers against Rass Food Market over the last two years and the owner said he’s regularly inspected.

“I told her maybe check your car,” said the cashier.

WREG was told if you think you have water in you gas tank, the best thing to do is  file a claim with the insurance company and let the insurance company investigate whose responsible.

The Tennessee Department of Agriculture has set up a hot line for gas complaints.

It’s 800- OCTANE-1.
