Don't give anybody any ideas, Craig! I had never heard that one! Man, people have always told me I should have a locking gas cap on mine. Gonna have to do it now! You guys are scaring me!

Got a letter from Hagerty today denying my claim.  They think it was water in the fuel tank causing rust pieces to settle in the various parts of the fuel system.  I think it is a plausible explanation.  I wouldn't have thought of sugar if my mechanic hadn't mentioned it.

Case closed.  Only think, I wish the adjuster had called me on Wednesday instead of just sending a letter.  Oh well.

At least you got it fixed! And I put my locking gas cap on yesterday just to be sure! Hope you now can enjoy uninterrupted cruising!

 Thanks for sharing Jim. Considering how low their rates are the response is understandable, I'm sure it would be the same with any ins. company though. I'm just hoping they don't make excuses for all claims. I mean, the wording on their policies is pretty restrictive. You can only travel X amount of miles per year, and only use the car for shows and gatherings and don't ever stop off in a parking lot unless that's where the show is. I guess I'm just expecting the worst of any ins. company, as in , trying to weasel out of responsibility instead of stepping up. Anyway, I'm considered a collector (3 or more cars), and their rates are great and I don't see many options really. I would just like to actually use my cars for any and everything without the fear that they might not be covered if something bad happens. Here's hoping the Guardian Angel of Corvettes is watching over us.
