BP says bad gas was sold at stations across the Southland, not all were BP

By Bob Bong

Turns out, BP stations as far west as Joliet received the fuel and that the bad gas also was sold by several non-BP stations including Speedway and Thorntons.

BP says drivers who bought the bad gas will notice immediate problems including hard starting, stalling and rough idling. Repairs require draining the gas tank and cleaning the fuel system and can run from $300 to more than $1,000.

If you think you purchased the bad gas, call the BP claim center at 800-599-9040 or visit the company’s web site at www.bpresponse.com.

Here is a list of gas stations in the Southland that sold the bad gas, according to BP.
