PSA if you live in Florida ... The gas now in your car may damage it

[kenny]

YIKES A hurricane is coming and evacuees' cars may stop working.
If you say home your generator may stop working.

SNIP:

"The affected gasoline and diesel, supplied by Citgo, may have been sold at nearly 30 stations after 10 a.m. ET on Saturday, mostly along the Florida coast from the Tampa Bay region to Fort Myers.
Using the fuel could cause engine damage or stop a vehicle or generator from operating entirely, FDACS warned."

Unfortunately, the article says nothing about what to do if you already bought the this "contaminate" gasoline (which is actually pure diesel).

Hurricanes, rising sea levels flooding coastal areas, a leprosy outbreak this year, bad gas, and radioactive roads, what more could one want in paradise.
