Some BP customers may have gotten a surprise when last they filled up their tank, as the company announced that motorists who bought fuel at a northwest Indiana BP station, or one supplied by BP, may have filled their vehicles with contaminated fuel.
BP’s general manager for press relations, Scott Dean, says they have pinpointed the contaminated fuel to a tank at their Whiting refinery fuel storage terminal, and he says it may have been diesel fuel or fuel oil that somehow got mixed in with regular unleaded gasoline. Customers most at risk are those in northwest Indiana, within the immediate area of the Whiting terminal, but GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan says there are other areas that may be affected as well.
