Auto Insurance Claims: Contaiminated diesel fuel, comprehensive insurance, diesel fuel


Question
I bought some diesel fuel contaminated with water that wiped out my fuel pump, how will my comprehensive insurance cover this?

Answer
As long as a mechanic can show that this water was the cause of failure to your injection pump, your comprehensive insurance should cover this, less your deductible.  Then, your insurance company will go after the gas station where you purchased your fuel through a process called subrogation.  If they are able to successfully collect for the damages, they will then refund the deductible that you have paid.  

Good luck!
