Contaminated fuel from Orlando gas station caused $13K in vehicle damage, motorist says

State inspectors determined the diesel fuel stored in the station’s underground tank contained 99% water

Nathanial Madanick drove his 2013 Audi Q7 SUV to the Amoco station at 601 N. John Young Parkway in early September, lured in part by a fuel discount promotion offered to military veterans.

Shortly after he began putting diesel fuel into his SUV, Madanick said the fuel pump became extremely slow.

“It was almost comical the way it was slowing down,” Madanick said.

He claims he waited more than 20 minutes to finish filling his tank to maximize his discount.

Although Madanick was able to drive away from the pump, he said the car stalled a few hundred feet from the gas station property.

“It comes to a grumbling, nasty, awful-sounding halt. The car just completely dies,” Madanick said.
