Local Hy-Vee reimbursing customers for water-tainted fuel damage

The Jefferson City Hy-Vee store is reimbursing some customers’ vehicle repair costs after they purchased fuel with water in it over the weekend.

Fuel samples tested by the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection Division, which was notified of a complaint made Monday regarding fuel quality at the 3723 W. Truman Blvd. Hy-Vee Gas station, confirmed that the fuel in affected customers’ vehicles was regular unleaded gasoline containing water, said Misti Preston, MDA director of strategic initiatives, in an email.
