In a bizarre incident in Montrose, Colorado, a gas station has been rendered unable to sell diesel fuel after an RV owner mistakenly dumped sewage into its underground diesel storage tank. The Maverik station had just filled the tank with fresh diesel when the waste was deposited, causing contamination. Eyewitness Evan Watson reported that the RV owner accessed the tank by removing a manhole cover, rather than using the designated RV dump station located nearby. This confusion is exacerbated by the dump station's proximity to the gas pumps, which is atypical for such facilities. As a result of this mishap, the gas station must now clean the contaminated diesel tank and dispose of the unusable diesel, incurring significant costs. The incident highlights the importance of proper waste disposal and the potential consequences of negligence.
