The dealership reported customers bringing vehicles into its service department with the contaminated fuel. Phil Long Ford of Denver warned drivers to avoid using their car if they think they got contaminated fuel and have the vehicle toed to a trusted mechanic.While King Soopers is the only company so far to return Denver7's request for comment, it is suspected other gas stations were also impacted.

'This is an issue for several fuel retailers, so I hope you are reaching out to them as well,' King Soopers said in a statement to Denver7. 'As soon as we became aware of the issue, we took immediate action by shutting down the impacted fuel lines and dispatching teams to perform thorough diagnostics.'
