Apparent Bad Batch of Gas Strands Drivers in South Windsor

Drivers who filled their tanks at a particular Valero station in South Windsor, Conn., founds themselves stranded on the side of the road Wednesday, thanks to an apparent bad batch of gas.

South Windsor police said they were called out to help drivers whose cars broke down after filling up at a Valero station on Sullivan Avenue.

It's not clear just how many cars were affected or exactly what was wrong with the gas. Drivers speculate there may have been water mixed in and said the gas station is reimbursing them for money spent Wednesday.

An employee working at the Valero station Wednesday night declined to comment on the incident and would not say whether the gas station will compensate affected customers.

Police said the gas station has been in business for a long time and they don't believe there was any criminal intent.
