The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) released an urgent consumer notification that Citgo fuel services from the Port of Tampa accidentally mixed Diesel Fuel into gasoline tanker trucks that offloaded product at gas pumps in Tampa, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and other areas. [FDACS Notice HERE]
Customers who purchased Citgo gas at the affected areas after August 26th are at risk. Those fuel stations pumped diesel instead of unleaded gasoline.
(AP) – […] The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said late Sunday that gasoline purchased after 10 a.m. Saturday at some Citgo-supplied stations had a strong likelihood of being contaminated with diesel fuel. Citgo identified 29 affected stations — sold at chains like 7-Eleven, BJ’s Wholesale and other convenience stores — in cities including Tampa, Fort Myers, Sarasota and more.
(FDACS) – […] PLEASE NOTE: Under state and federal law, FDACS must rely upon CITGO to provide the list of impacted gas stations. Consumers should be aware that the company may update this list. FDACS will also update this list as necessary as of result of increased fuel testing in the impacted areas.
Contaminated gasoline and diesel have the potential of causing engine damage or affecting operability. Impacted stations have been asked to stop selling gas until the contaminated fuel is replaced and tanks are cleaned. Once the stations are cleared or have completed a corrective action plan fuel will once again be safe for purchase.
If you purchased gas from affected stations after 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 26, the Florida Department of Agriculture of Consumer services advises consumers that vehicles or generators may not properly function.

Doesn’t Citgo still sell gas refined from Venezuelan oil? They lost me as a customer decades ago.
Human error?
Kinda like barricading the only road possible to escape an all-encompassing fire.
Yes!
I’m sure it was just an honest mistake and those bitching about it are evil right-wing anti-government white supremacist conspiracy theorists.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Well that’s a hell of a thing.
I hope Citgo eats a bunch of expensive s- sandwiches for this royal screw up.
But I’m not holding my breath.
Just another reason to eliminate fossil fuels to the minds of the evil ones.
Blocking the roads would be a little too obvious so soon…
“Doesn’t Citgo still sell gas refined from Venezuelan oil? They lost me as a customer decades ago.”
Who sells gas refined from US oil (preferably not from the Strategic Reserve)?
I don’t believe in coincidence anymore
Yikes!
How long does it take to damage a gasoline engine by running it on diesel fuel?
What a coincidence…
Idiocracy

Sabotage?
Its a most popular excuse for anything it seems.
