It seems that there was a mix up on what fuel to off load into the gas stations tanks. Instead of normal fuel we use every day for our cars, they put Jet fuel in the Gas Stations tanks which then went obviously into the cars. [http://www.aol.com/video/drivers-fill-cars-with-jet-fuel-after-gas-station-mix-up/517585877/?icid=maing-grid7|aim|dl28|sec1\_lnk2%26pLid%3D244096](http://www.aol.com/video/drivers-fill-cars-with-jet-fuel-after-gas-station-mix-up/517585877/?icid=maing-grid7%7Caim%7Cdl28%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D244096) What exactly would this cause to a vehicle? I wonder who is going to pick up the repair bills on this, I’m assuming the Gas company and not the station due to sending the wrong fuel or putting it in a wrong storage tank. ---

Jet fuel is basically diesel. ---

Yeah, I’m thinking they’ll just have to drain the tanks, refill with gas and purge the fuel in the lines. PITA, but I don’t think there would be any permanent damage. I’m sure someone will sue wanting a brand new car because their 1986 Cavelier was irreparably damaged though. ---
