Customers have reported cars stalling, stopping or not running at all. Those affected believe they received the wrong type of fuel.

“Well the people who have already had their vehicles diagnosed, the ones that were gas their tanks are full of diesel and the ones that were diesel their tanks are filled with gas,” Jason Brown, a Harleton real estate agent said.

Many customers are now left without transportation and are having to find creative ways to get around.

Brown said a tow truck driver helping those affected has already picked up more than 200 vehicles.
