The pumps at an Oklahoma gas station were shut down after water was found in the tanks.When inspectors found an inch and a half of water in an E-10 tank, they immediately shut the pumps down. Obviously, water can cause serious damage to an engine but the Oklahoma Corporation Commission said this was nothing more than an accident."We’ve never seen anyone ever do this on purpose," said Matt Skinner, an OCC spokesperson.Now, the nozzles are bagged, and the handles are zip-tied. The OCC has shut off sales for all unleaded fuel after finding water in a tank at a Guthrie station."We received a consumer complaint about a possible problem with the quality of the fuel at that station yesterday. That same day we had a fuel inspector go up there and do an inspection," Skinner said.An inch and a half of water were found in an E-10 tank which is three times over the limit. Despite online speculation the station was cutting corners, the OCC said it was due to heavy rain."It is a common myth that an unscrupulous gas station operator will add water to the fuel storage tank in order to thin out the gas and make money. That is a total myth. It's physically impossible to do that because gasoline and water don’t mix," Skinner said.Out of the more than 3,700 water inspections last fiscal year, the OCC found 230 violated pumps, which is a rate of just over 6%. Despite record-high prices, it’s on par with years past."It is relatively rare. If you had to look at one most common cause, it’s because a cover on the tank is not secured properly, so when you had heavy rain, some water got in," Skinner said.The OCC said they’ve only received one complaint from a driver over this incident. At this time, most of the pumps are back open other than one involved in the incident. The contractor is working to get rid of the water in the tank.
