Primary cause of "bad gas" is an inch or three of water in the bottom
of the delivery tank.  Happened to a Cucumber Farms store/station
near me once, they had people mad at them from all over the
place.  Prudent owners smear some stuff on the sounding stick that
turns color if there's water at the bottom.  Of course with the 10%
ethanol mix they give us around here, a considerable amount of water
can be taken up by the alcohol and not have the same drastic effects.
