Contaminated Fuel Sold at Bolingbrook Meijer

Customers that purchased diesel fuel at the East Boughton Road Meijer in Bolingbrook may have some unleaded gas mixed in.

According to a report from The Daily-Herald, a supplier accidentally put unleaded fuel in the underground diesel tank.

The tank already was more than 50 percent full. Diesel is heavier than unleaded and sinks to the bottom of the tank. When drivers fill up their cars, the pumps draw from the bottom of the tank, so “there’s a very good chance people have not even been affected,” Meijer Spokesman Frank Guglielmi said.

Those who purchased the diesel fuel between 9 p.m. Thursday, July 16 and 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 21, at the Bolingbrook Meijer should call 1-800-543-3704 for further instructions.
