Local Gas Station Being Checked For Tainted Gas

Adobe Express

According to ABC-TV News, several drivers have said their cars broke down after filling up at a local gas station.

The BP gas station on Clark Road, in Keyport is right off the parkway. That means cars from outside of the area also fill up there. The issue has left those drivers stuck with costly repairs that are in the thousands. The pumps at the station are currently blocked off. Each nozzle is also marked with condemned red tags. The Office of Weights and Measures is investigating and Keyport Police have been taking reports. BP has also heard from drivers reporting that their vehicles broke down after they filled up here. One driver was told by a mechanic that he had 12 gallons of water in my tank. BP is working with all those affected. Keyport Police say it's important for anyone who got the tainted fuel to file with the police department if they want to get their repair cost reimbursed.

There are so many groups in the area that do good, we feel it’s important for our listeners to know about them. Stefanie Worton has more.

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
