About 90 motorists inadvertently filled their petrol vehicles with diesel after a Circle K garage poured the wrong fuel into the fuel pumps over the weekend, reports RTE.
In a statement, Circle K apologized to those affected by Saturday’s incident at the Kill North service station on the north lanes of the N7.
Gasoline pumps that were mistakenly filled with diesel ran for five hours, and Circle K said it believed 87 drivers were affected.
Circle K said that between 2pm and 7pm on Saturday, all fuel pumps at the Kill North service station were “impacted by an isolated incident where diesel was inadvertently delivered into a petrol underground storage tank,” reports RTE.
“Having reviewed CCTV and sales data, we know up to 87 customers may have been impacted by this issue. As soon as the issue became apparent, petrol pumps at the forecourt were immediately closed and Circle K launched an investigation to establish how this occurred,” it said.
The company promises to help customers solve any problems with their vehicles.
It added that it aims to help customers resolve any issues “as quickly as possible” and is assuring customers that, “we will assist them with any potential claim,” reports RTE.
Circle K said affected customers can contact the following numbers – 087 1034125; 01 2028768; 01 2028762 or 01 2028888.
