Officials Warn of Contaminated Gas Sold at 29 Florida Stations

Fuel sold at 29 Citgo-supplied gas stations across Florida's Gulf Coast may be contaminated due to human error at the Port of Tampa, officials warned. The contamination could cause damage to engines, just as the state prepares for the potential impact of Hurricane Idalia. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has released a list of affected stations and advised consumers who purchased gas after 10 a.m. on Saturday to be cautious as vehicles or generators may not function properly. Governor Ron DeSantis has expanded the state of emergency declaration to 46 counties and urged residents to execute their evacuation plans.
