Overview
- Colorado’s Division of Oil and Public Safety says diesel mixed into unleaded was distributed between 2 p.m. Wednesday and 6 a.m. Thursday before customers began reporting problems.
- Costco, Murphy Express and King Soopers locations were affected, with a state investigator confirming contamination at the Costco on River Point Parkway in Sheridan.
- King Soopers says nearly 20 of its metro-area stations received the bad fuel, has shut impacted lines, and is working to remediate sites and restore service.
- Drivers who believe they bought contaminated fuel should contact the station and may file a complaint with the Division of Oil and Public Safety at 303-866-4697 or cdle_oil_inspection@state.co.us.
- Store officials say deliveries came from a third-party carrier, and local mechanics warn contaminated fuel can cause drivability issues that may require costly repairs if not addressed promptly.
