Lukoil says water tainted gas, stranded motorists in NJ

© 2008 The Associated Press

FORT LEE, N.J. — Lukoil says water contamination is to blame for bad gas at
seven service stations that left dozens of motorists stranded around New
Jersey.

Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando says more than 60 cars stalled
along the Garden State Parkway after filling up at stations in Fort Lee,
Bloomfield and along the parkway Thursday. There also are reports that
motorists got stuck in Wall Township.

Lukoil spokesman George Wilkins says water in bulk storage tanks at a north
Jersey gas distributor is likely to blame.

Another pathetic troll seeks the attention it's never had in real life.

The that distributer will face criminal charges.

Maybe not, there are toll roads and highway administrations in the mix
here, so they will probably just write it off as a mistake.
Realistically, it did cost them money to repair the motorists' cars who
got stuck and they did take a PR hit on their image.

The odds vastly favor that it was the station owner/manager, or the
distributor who contaminated the fuel. Happened back in 79 a few times
too. It's possible it was accidental, but unlikely. A local place years
ago had a drain cork up, and due to the way the lot sloped, the water
got into the tanks, and the idiot manager just sold the stuff anyway,
even though it was about 40% water..

PR hit??  HAHAHA.  Hey stupid.  If you're caught robbing a bank, they
don't let you off just because your reputation has been harmed.  Lock
these crooks up.

Lukoil is, of course, a russian state-owned oil monopoly...
Looks like the cold war just got local.

We now have pootey-poot yelling 'Vee vill puck up you cars !'

You're the one making the claim that the contamination was done on
purpose by the oil company.  Explain the reasoning.

It's comments like that that prove you are just paid corporate shill.
What does big oil pay a loser like you, anyway?  3$ an hour?  HAHAHA

So according to your logic, the way oil companies will get rich is by
making their customer's autos undrivable?

If the fuel supp0lier, either accidently or purposely, contaminates
the fuel, it must clean the tank at the station. That can be quite
expensive. They have enought problems with the innocentmistakes.
