Contaminated gas from Arden Fastop damaged cars

f you topped off at a Fastop gas station in Arden this week, it might be wise to swing by a mechanic. Both unleaded fuel and diesel were contaminated at the Fastop at 314 Airport Road, according to Marcus Helfrich at the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Motor Fuels Section.

A state inspector who visited Fastop on July 17 determined that a "delivery truck dropped diesel in the unleaded fuel tank and unleaded fuel in the diesel tank," Helfrich said.

The Motor Fuels Section dispatched an inspector to take fuel samples in response to two complaints received from Fastop customers. One of the complainants filled up the morning of July 17, while the other didn't specify the time they pumped the contaminated gas. 

Fastop and its parent corporation, Pioneer Petroleum, has received about 20 separate complaints about contaminated fuel, Helfrich said.
