Picture of Sewer Water Fuel

This is just disgusting and expensive to fix… Todd Swarthout just sent along a story about a Florida Citgo gas station on East Colonial Drive at Old Cheney Highway pumping out what seemed to be sewer water from it’s tanks instead of gasoline.

The problem was noted after a multitude of cars, filling up at the station, pulled out the station just to have their cars “shake violently” then seize up and die.

After looking into some of the ruined cars, technician Tony Sarmiento had the following to say:

“You couldn’t stand (the smell)?”

“Correct,” Sarmiento said. “It smelled like a toilet.”

So not only is your car seized up, fuel lines need to be bled, no idea what has to happens to cylinders and you get handy a hefty repair bill… but it also smells like diarrhea to boot? Icing on the cake baby…
