Circle K Gas Station in Avon, Ohio, mistakenly mixed diesel and unleaded gasoline, leading to vehicle problems for several customers. Drivers reported sputtering engines, smoke, and costly repairs. Circle K confirmed the mix-up and apologized, stating they are working to assist affected customers with their claims.
Drivers in Avon , Ohio , are reporting vehicle problems after allegedly fueling up at a Circle K gas station on Chester Road. Scott Bauchmoyer, one of the affected drivers, told WOIO that his Jeep started sputtering and emitting white smoke after he filled it with gas. A mechanic later diagnosed the issue as diesel fuel contaminating his gas tank and fuel lines, leading to a $1,100 repair bill. Bauchmoyer is seeking compensation from Circle K .
Another driver, who owns a Ford F350, also contacted WOIO, stating that his truck experienced issues after fueling at the same Circle K station. According to him, his truck required repairs after being mistakenly filled with unleaded gasoline. Circle K acknowledged the incident to WOIO, confirming that diesel was accidentally pumped into unleaded storage tanks, and unleaded was mistakenly added to diesel tanks, a phenomenon known as a 'cross drop.' The company apologized for the inconvenience and assured customers that they would help with their claims. Circle K stated that they have shut down fuel pumps at the location, replaced the fuel in the affected tanks, and are assisting affected customers with their claims. They also provided a toll-free number for customers who believe their vehicles may have been impacted by this issue. However, when WOIO reached out to the gas station manager directly, they refused to comment and hung up the phone
