Santa Clara County has received numerous complaints regarding Alliance gas station on Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Alliance gas station in Cupertino on Aug. 1, 2024. Dozens of locals complained that the unleaded fuel they pumped at the station was actually diesel, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to their vehicles. A Cupertino gas station is under fire after dozens of residents complained that the unleaded fuel they pumped was actually diesel, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to their vehicles.
Weights and Measures told NBC that staff initially tested the fuel on July 2 and 3 and found no trace of diesel, but it was possible that the fuel lines could have been cleared before they came. Fueling a gas vehicle with diesel can have dire consequences. Gasoline engines cannot easily combust diesel fuel, causing a clogged fuel system and engine failure, among other things, according to FireStone, an auto repair company. Drivers will need to have the entire system drained and cleaned, and in some cases, it can be costly to replace damaged parts. There are usually precautions in place to prevent drivers from accidentally filling their cars with diesel.
