A Wawa in Bucks County is accused of selling contaminated fuel, resulting in mechanical problems for customers’ cars.
According to reports from NBC10 and 6ABC, several people who got gas at a Wawa in Richboro between July 17 and 18 ended up having their cars malfunction.
“I got a call from another service station and he says ‘Greg, listen, something is going on, like, every one of these cars, every one of my customers got gas at Wawa,’ and I’m like ‘Wait a minute, so did mine,’” Greg Millevoi, owner of Millevoi Brothers Automotive said to NBC10.
Unfortunately, fixing the problem can prove to be costly, with more than 30 drivers reportedly facing price tags well over $4,000.
“To correct it, we have to replace, most of the time, fuel pumps, fuel filters, ignition wires, spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, everything is getting clogged up. It’s a very extensive repair,” Millevoi said to 6ABC.
“Wawa is aware of an issue with the fuel equipment on one tank at our Richboro PA store,” the convenience store chain said in a statement. “Once aware of the issue, and the potential impact to fuel, we took immediate steps to correct it and we are working with our fuel equipment manufacturer to investigate and understand the issue including the timing of any potential impact. At this time, we believe that this was an isolated incident that may have affected a very limited number of customers.”
“We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused,” the statement continued. “At Wawa, we have a quality fuel guarantee, and if any customer’s vehicle had a mechanical problem caused by our fuel, we encourage them to visit our fuel guarantee page, to submit a claim.”
