EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Drivers in east El Paso who bought premium or midgrade fuel at a Circle K on North Zaragoza Road have reported car trouble after a fuel delivery mix-up, according to the company.
A Circle K spokesperson said a third-party supplier “inadvertently delivered diesel fuel into a premium gasoline storage tank” at the Circle K at 1239 N. Zaragoza Rd. in El Paso.
The spokesperson said unleaded gasoline storage tanks and sales were not impacted, and neither were other Circle K sites in the area.
Circle K said it suspended premium and midgrade fuel sales as soon as it became aware of the situation while the affected storage tank was “emptied, cleaned and replenished with fresh fuel.”
The company said it has resumed normal operations after testing “confirmed full remediation.”
A small number of customers have contacted us about car troubles after purchasing premium and midgrade fuel at this site,” the spokesperson said. Circle K said it is “gathering and evaluating their information and helping them with their claims.
Customers who experience an issue after fueling at a Circle K station should call the company’s claims department at 1-855-276-1947 “as soon as possible,” the spokesperson said.
