Where to report a gas station?

[Anonymous]

Where to report a gas station that has pumps that are broken so the gas doesn't automatically shut off, spills out of your car and onto the ground? The gas station owner doesn't care AT ALL as I've spoke with him a few times. It's multiple pumps and there is ALWAYS puddles of gas on the ground. Any help appreciated.

To their parent company?

This is a fire hazard as well as an environmental problem, but probably the state environmental department. Where’s the station?

The situation you observe may have nothing to do with the station. The auto shut off is part of the nozzle, connected by the hose to the dispenser (they haven’t been actual pumps in years). If the nozzle is placed/held in the fill port the wrong way, the shutoff sometimes doesn’t function. There are people who like to fill the vehicle as much as possible and sometimes they keep going until there’s an overflow.

Why are you leaving the pump unattended while gas is flowing, OP?

If you’d follow the instructions properly you wouldn’t be spilling gas.

This. You should know your tank’s capacity and when it’s approaching full, then disable the auto-pumping accordingly.

Stop huffing gas fumes, and learn to read.
