Oops! Sorry about your car.. And the Haz-Mat incident... A fuel truck mistakenly delivered loads of jet fuel to two auto gas stations in New Jersey, which caused motor damage to several vehicles before police shut down the stations. (www.app.com) More...
Who knows the way they write storys next it will be diesel fuel. Bet there are AC owners who would like to have a tanker to fill up at those stations at auto fuel price.
Shouldn't we be more concerned about where the tanker that was *supposed* to go to the gas station ended up? If it was similarly misrouted by going where the Jet A tanker was supposed to go, gasoline in a jet engine is a far greater concern than Jet A in a car!
I was fueler in Okc and we used to put Jet-A out of sump tank into our fuel trucks which were diesel engines and didn't hurt them at all-as well as ground equipment that were diesel fueled....But its no good at all for domestic vehicles that run on regular gasoline....I smell law suit in the air....Tee hee hee....
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs confirmed Wednesday that approximately eight tankers of aviation fuel were mistakenly delivered to six gas stations last week in four New Jersey counties. This fuel was sold to motorists last week before the stations were shut down.
Sounds like the problem started at the fuel depot. Someone either but the jet fuel in the wrong storage tank or the depot loading manager opened the wrong valves. It would appear that the tankers are not at fault as the load as directed by the loading supervisor.
