About 1,550 consumers were potentially affected after an incident last month at the Port of Tampa, where gasoline was contaminated by diesel fuel, the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department announced on Aug. 27 that \u201chuman error\u201d at the port a day earlier resulted in the \u201cstrong likelihood\u201d of contamination of gas sold to numerous stations supplied by Citgo. Such contamination can cause engine damage or affect the operability of vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department said Thursday that Citgo has closed 950 claims, resulting in more than $447,000 in auto repairs or reimbursements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s adjusters will continue to work on any new claims, the department said in a news release. \u201cAll potentially impacted stations have received clearance to reopen full fuel sales operations,\u201d the department said. \u201cCitgo has made the commitment to continue working with their wholesale customers (stations) who incurred costs for pumping out tanks at these locations so they can reimburse them for those costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three wholesale customers have submitted claims to Citgo covering four total locations, and Citgo has paid their reimbursements.\u201d The contamination came as motorists in many areas filled up vehicles in advance of Hurricane Idalia. The Category 3 storm made landfall on Aug. 30 in Taylor County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
