Contaminated Gasoline Plagues Southwest Florida Ahead of Tropical Storm Idalia

Gas stations in Southwest Florida serviced by the Port of Tampa received contaminated gasoline due to human error, potentially impacting drivers ahead of Tropical Storm Idalia's arrival. The Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (FDACS) has identified the issue and urged affected drivers to file complaints. Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed that diesel was mistakenly put into tanks meant for regular gas. The contamination was discovered through a weight check, and two out of three inspected gas stations tested positive for contamination. As Idalia intensifies and approaches Florida's Gulf Coast, more than half of the state's counties are under states of emergency, with storm surge, rain, and hurricane-force winds expected to arrive on Tuesday.
