Water in petrol to blame
Caltex spokesman Sam Collyer said the petrol giant was sorry for the "rare" event that had inconvenienced dozens of customers and many morning peak hour motorists.
He said the company was certain only that the E10 product was contaminated.
"We quickly shut down the pumps for that product so no other customers will be affected. Our technical team is on its way to investigate what has caused this issue," he said.
"Any customers with any problems should hold onto their receipt and call our customer team on 1800 240 398. They will be open from 8.30am this morning."
"They are all in the breakdown lanes. Of course some people have slowed down to have a look, but all the lanes are open," she said.
