“It is so beyond emotionally distressing,” Adrienne Thompson Roetman of Paramus told CBS 2, which took up her cause after the Citgo station owner refused to reimburse the full amount of repairs — including new fuel pumps and injectors — to her year-old Mazda3.

The Bergen County Division of Weights and Measures inspected the station and confirmed that it had sold contaminated gas but had cleared its tanks.
