Apology after fuel contamination affects drivers

A petrol station has apologised after motorists in Cornwall were affected by a fuel contamination incident.

EG On The Move said a number of customers had experienced vehicle breakdowns after purchasing fuel from its St Austell Services site on Penwinnick Road.

The company said there had been an oversight during a recent pump installation by an engineer.

It added customers who believed they had been affected by the incident should send an email to [email protected] with the details of their purchase.

The company said the affected tanks and pumps had been taken out of use.

A spokesperson added: "We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and distress this has caused and understand the disruption it may have created for those impacted, especially this time of year."
