ATLANTA -- An Atlanta woman claims a DeKalb County gas station sold her watered-down gas and it hasn’t reimbursed her.

Jenny Cleveland said the incident happened at the Shell station on Shallowford Road near St. Pius High School a couple of weeks ago. Two days later, she said, her car broke down.

“It started to lock, and I kept pressing the gas pedal, and fortunately, I was able to get over to the side of the street before it totally locked up,” Cleveland said.

Cleveland took the car to a Lexus dealership, which gave her a jar of gasoline that Cleveland said is proof of the gas station’s error.

"You can see right here that there is a rim of a different type of liquid, which is water,” Cleveland said.

The Lexus dealership gave her a receipt which said: "The car had bad gas in the tank."

“They (mechanics at the dealership) completely drained the gas tank and the fuel line, and then I had to have the air flow meter replaced, which was a $300 part, so needless to say, I knew where I had gotten the gas,” Cleveland said.

She said she spoke with the owner of the gas station in person as well as on the phone, but has not been reimbursed.

“He just said that they always check their tanks for water consistently and there's no way it could have been from his gas station,” Cleveland said.

CBS 46 News checked with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, which said it has not received any complaints about watered-down gas at the Shell station.

CBS 46 also contacted shell's corporate office and we also spoke with the local owner. Shell officials said they would investigate.

Cleveland has been asked to fill out an incident report.

The gas station owner told CBS 46’s Adam Murphy that if investigators find water, he will reimburse Cleveland accordingly.
