TAMPA, FL (352today.com) – Someone made a mistake that could potentially mess up a lot of people’s cars.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) says it has identified a potentially widespread fuel contamination caused by human error at the Port of Tampa.

FDACS says anyone who purchased fuel after 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26, at stations supplied by Citgo from the Port of Tampa has a strong likelihood of being contaminated with diesel fuel.

The impact of this mix-up is magnified by the approaching Tropical Storm Idalia when drivers are advised to fuel up ahead of the storm.

Impacted stations have been asked to stop selling gas until the tanks can be cleaned and fuel replaced. The governor’s office has waived restrictions on truck drivers to help expedite the fuel replacement.

If you believe you were sold contaminated gas, you can file a complaint by calling 1-800-HELP-FLA.
