As reported on News Center 7 at 6, customers will see plastic bags over each pump when they pull into the Sunoco Gas Station in West Carrollton.
“I had to call in. I had to tell my client that I couldn’t take her to the doctor today because of the car,” Sonya Moore.
Moore’s sister got a half tank of gas at the Sunoco Gas Station on Tuesday, and two days later, she still hasn’t taken it on the road.
“I could notice a little flutter sound like there was water,” Moore said.
Nicole also got gas at Sunoco.
She said she made it less than a mile down the road before she noticed problems.
An employee at the gas station said they have water in their fuel reservoir.
“With all the rain that we’ve been having and we’re on a downhill slant, we got a little bit of extra water,” they said.
The employee said the problem was getting fixed, and those who bought gas will be refunded.
But Moore wants the gas station to cover any charges from the car problems they caused.
