Beware Of Bad Gas At These Lee County Stations
If your favorite gas station in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Alva or Port Charlotte is closed today this could be the reason why. Beware of bad gas at these Lee County stations. People preparing for Hurricane Idalia all over Florida may have inadvertently filled their tanks and fuel cans with contaminated gasoline. This is according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
State officials say the bad gas came from Port Tampa Bay by Citgo. They are calling the problem “human error.” The contaminated fuel is not just in Southwest Florida. It stretches up and down the Gulf Coast and even across the state to Daytona. If you were traveling this weekend, you might want to check out this complete list of stations. Make sure you didn’t fill up at one of them either.
