Gas Stations Around Tampa Bay Affected By The Citgo Gas Contamination

Did you purchase contaminated Citgo gas around the Tampa Bay area? I certainly hope not. But how do you even know if you did? We can help you.

We'll get to the list of stations that shows where the contaminated gas was sold around the Tampa Bay area. But first, this is apparently what happened. On Sunday, officials from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services announced that consumers could have bought gas that was contaminated with diesel gas. The contamination affected gas purchases after 10 A.M. on Saturday, August 26. The contamination mistake took place at the Port of Tampa.

Not only will diesel fuel negatively affect a car's engine, but this is bad overall timing for something like this to happen. Everyone is busy doing hurricane preps as we see the intensification of Tropical Storm Idalia.

Monday will be the day to prepare in Tampa Bay as a category 3 hurricane is now forecasted to make landfall in Florida sometime tomorrow.

The time frame still looks to be late Tuesday night into Wednesday when Idalia's force will be felt here in the Tampa area. The exact point of landfall isn't as important. We know the entire Tampa Bay area will experience high winds and heavy rain.

Here are the latest observations on what will become Hurricane Idalia sometime today from Denis Phillips from ABC Action News as well as other Tampa weather experts.

While there certainly could be more turns coming... here's the latest as of lunchtime Monday.

We are now under Storm Surge and Hurricane Warnings.

Small shifts can make a big difference.

Those who live along the coast really need to pay attention to this.

Paul from Fox 13 says don't get caught up in the category debate... prepare for the water.

Storm surge and high winds are expected to become a problem late tomorrow.

Our entire Q105 listening area is expected to feel the impact of Idalia.

Last night Denis answered viewer questions...

Right now Idalia is still just a tropical storm, but that will likely change today.

Know before you go...

Today is our day to prepare...
