Driver reports ‘suspected contaminated' fuel at Raleigh station. Sales paused

State inspectors don’t always find issues when they follow up on consumer complaints about gas stations. But in one recent case, a driver reported that the vehicle’s engine stalled after filling up at a Raleigh gas station. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic, who “suspected contaminated gas.” That complaint led to a follow-up inspection, where an inspector found sediment coming through the pump with diesel. While that’s not the fuel type the person who made the complaint had purchased, the finding could harm consumers. The inspector paused sales at the pump, until the issue could be fixed. Full story: Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found Here’s what to know about recent fuel quality inspections and how to report complaints: Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services received fuel quality complaints about 24 stations across Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties. Twenty of those were in Wake County. Drivers reported that their vehicles lost power or had trouble starting. They also said their engines stalled and check engine lights came on. Some mechanics told customers their vehicles had been filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors confirmed

Philip Rivers' high school coaching record: What NC State is getting

It's official: former NFL All-Pro quarterback and NC State legend Philip Rivers has been named the Wolfpack's newest head coach. While he has no experience coaching at the college level, the former San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts quarterback took over a fairly young St. Michael Catholic (AL) program after his playing days ended in 2021. The Fairhope-area school opened in 2018, and over its first three years, the Cardinals compiled a 6-15 record. Given how the first few years went without him, Rivers' first season at the school was a massive success. The team went 7-2 overall—4-2 in regional play—but did not qualify for the postseason. Year two of Rivers at St. Michael Catholic had its fair share of ups and downs. The Cardinals finished the year 5-5, missing out on postseason play, and had similar results in 2023, finishing 6-5. However, the 2023 season was also the first year the Rivers' son, Gunner, took over as the program's starting quarterback, and he shined. Gunner finished his freshman season completing 63% of his passes for 3,077 yards and 29 touchdowns to just four interceptions. With Gunner leading his dad's team the next year, the program took a step forward,

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time.

In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling.
