BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
A few Tallahassee gas stations that were issued a stop-sale order for water-contaminated gas are back up and running. The diluted fuel was an issue several neighbors blamed for their cars breaking down almost immediately after filling up. I’m Kenya Cardonne, your Southeast Tallahassee neighborhood reporter. I’m investigating what the repair process will look like as neighbors set expectations for gas stations in the future.
Traffic is picking up at the GATE gas station in Southwood again.
It comes one week after the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) shut down the pumps there due to water contaminating the fuel. This is also two weeks after the same thing happened at a Circle K on Thomasville Rd.
