New information about contaminated fuel sold at Southwest Florida gas stations

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has released new information regarding the fuel pollution impacting drivers from Southwest Florida on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the FDACS, these are the six fuel stations that did not encounter the tainted fuel.

FDACS has examined, resolved issues, and approved eight stations for selling fuel.

There are still 17 stations that are not allowed to sell their products until their laboratory results are confirmed.

The initial cautionary note, issued by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services on Sunday, highlighted the possibility of significant fuel pollution caused by mistakes made by individuals.

It occurred at the Tampa harbor, but had a far-reaching effect, extending to the southwestern region of Florida.

The gasoline in question was bought after 10 in the morning on Saturday, August 26th, from Citgo-supplied gas stations at the Port of Tampa.

According to specialists interviewed by WINK News, gasoline and diesel fuel that is tainted can potentially result in engine harm or render your vehicle nonfunctional.

If you bought gasoline from impacted fuel stations after 10 in the morning on Saturday, make sure to inform FDACS about it. You have the option to register a grievance either by dialing 1-800-HELP-FLA or through the FDACS website at www.fdacs.gov.
