‘Potentially widespread’: Citgo gasoline from Port of Tampa contaminated with diesel, FDACS says
WFLA, 8/27/2023

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — If you refueled your car at a local station supplied by Citgo Saturday, you may have been affected by a “potentially widespread” fuel contamination.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said the contamination involved a human error at Port of Tampa that contaminated fuel for gas stations supplied by Citgo with diesel.

“Any fuel purchased after 10:00 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,” a FDACS release said. “At this time, Citgo will not release the list of gas stations that received contaminated fuel.”

According to the department, Port of Tampa serves stations “in the greater Tampa region north to Chiefland, and on the west side of Florida south to Naples.” These stations can include BJs, 7-Elevens, and other unbranded stations.

3. Yesterday when I went to fuel up, the 7-11's (Citgo) were wide open, no one in line,

but every place else was a madhouse. Guess word spread pretty damn fast. One of the stations on the list is in my neighborhood.
