I have been using this station for years, even prior to them becoming Phillips 76 - back when it was Ronald's, as I live around the corner. No problems whatsoever, until May 26, 2016 at 5:12 PM. I drove in, just trying to get a pinch (six dollars cash, embarrassingly) to get me through the evening's travel and until payday, the next day. My car is in excellent shape, three years old, just inspected, just had an oil change. The line for self serve was too long, so I had the attendant pump the gas. After receiving the gas, my vehicle did not make it from the exit of the gas station to Sunrise highway without incredible bucking, hesitation, and becoming surrounded in a cloud of acrid smoke. It was horrifying and impossible trying to merge onto Sunrise from Wellwood, and left the 50 yard journey left the car unusable. I called a tow the next morning, and took to the mechanic. Outcome?
Someone put diesel into the car.
Now, I am sure this was a simple error and am fine with that....so make good on the error and move on. After being informed, this station, and the Phillips 66 corporation take no responsibility for this, however, and that is what I cannot accept without comment. I received a video which I find totally inconclusive - i cannot tell which pump the attendant used, nor which day and time was shown.
M only recourse is to tell you my story...
The diesel and regular hoses share a pump at this station, so if you must use this station, which I recommend you do not do, please for your own safety, pump your own gas. read more
