Some diesel pumps were dispensing regular gas, and some regular pumps were dispensing diesel fuel.
After reading some posts on a Quarryville-area Facebook group, he learned that some pumps at the Turkey Hill at the Buck had been dispensing diesel fuel July 2 from what were labeled as regular gas pumps. That prompted him to take the squad vehicle to a mechanic where a fuel test showed that its tank was filled with diesel fuel, which could damage the engine of the vehicle that uses regular gas.
Four of the 12 pumps at the station have pumps for both diesel and regular fuel. Motorists interviewed by LNP — LancasterOnline reported both getting diesel fuel from pumps labeled for regular gas and regular gas from a pump meant for diesel. A fuel mix-up either way can be catastrophic for an engine if the problem isn’t discovered early.
Diesel fuel is thicker and denser than regular gas and can clog an engine designed to handle regular gas, causing it to seize up. Regular gas ignites more easily than diesel fuel, so putting regular gasoline into an engine designed for diesel can lead to uncontrolled and mistimed detonations that can quickly cause engine damage.
“We are reimbursing those whose vehicles were affected, and working with our team to ensure this does not happen again in the future,” the statement said.
