Florida Gas Stations Receive Contaminated Fuel Right Before Hurricane Idalia Makes Landfall
The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) has reported fuel contamination could impact residents who are evacuating from Florida’s coast.
FDACS reported fuel contamination has occurred at dozens of gas stations that were serviced by the Port of Tampa.
In a press release, FDACS revealed, “Any fuel purchased after 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 26, at stations supplied by Citgo from the Port of Tampa has a strong likelihood of being contaminated with diesel fuel.”
Governor Ron DeSantis also weighed in on the situation and stated the fuel contamination stemmed from a human error.
DeSantis further explained, “They put diesel in tanks that were supposed to be regular gas.”
