Cars damaged by water-tainted fuel from Goshen station

GOSHEN, Ind. - Multiple people filled up their gas tanks during the weekend of February 7th at the Phillips 66 on Main and Pike streets in Goshen. Shortly after the phones at Thompson's towing and repair started to ring says owner Jim Steele.

“There were a number of cars we towed, nine of them from downtown Main Street area to here in Goshen from a gas station and a couple of blocks surrounding area,” says Steele.Steele says he brought five of those cars to his repair shop where drivers shared similar stories.“A pickup truck said he was filling the tank with the truck running and the more he filled the worse the tank started to run until he got about 10 gallons in it and it just shut off on him,” says Steele.  Steele pumped the fuel from the tanks of the stalled vehicles."We checked a sample of the fuel and we found a majority of the fuel in the tanks were water," said Steele.
