Florida Officials Issue Warnings of Contaminated Fuel Supply in the State

Florida officials have warned that fuel supplied by CITGO from the Port of Tampa after 10 a.m. on Saturday is likely contaminated with diesel due to human error. Governor Ron DeSantis stated that an investigation is underway to determine the extent of the contamination. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is working to identify gas stations that may have received the contaminated fuel. CITGO has shut down its Tampa terminal and is coordinating efforts to remove the affected product from retail locations. Consumers who believe they purchased contaminated fuel can file a claim through the CITGO Good Gas Guarantee program.
