At least 46 stations across the state are believed to have received the contaminated fuel, according to an updated list released by the state Wednesday.The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE)s Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) has received more than 600 complaints and counting from people who believe they were impacted by the unprecedented fuel contamination, officials said a virtual presser Wednesday.People who filled up between the evening of Jan. 8 and the morning of Jan. 9 at stations on the list may have been impacted. All the fuel has now been replaced, officials said.Here is the latest updated list of Colorado stations from OPS: Big D Oil Co. #64 8214 6th St, Wellington Bowmar Gas 5200 S Lowell Blvd, Littleton Broadway Cardlock 6185 Broadway, Denver Castle Pines King Soopers #691 7296 Lagae Rd, Castle Rock Circle K #2706475 6702 N Tower Rd, Denver Circle K Store #2706786 202 S Briggs St., Erie Circle K Store #2709854 1600 S Colorado Blvd, Denver Circle K Store #2709880 7701 E Orchard Rd, Greenwood Village Circle K Store #2741185 5390 W 112th Ave, Westminster Coal Mine Gas Express 9819 W Coal Mine Ave, Littleton Costco Gasoline #1014 5897 Barnes Rd, Colorado Springs Costco Gasoline #1022 18414 Cottonwood Dr, Parker Costco Gasoline #1027 4000 River Point Pkwy, Sheridan Costco Gasoline #1178 4665 Weitzel St, Timnath Costco Gasoline #1652 4741 North Airport Way Building 2, Denver Costco Gasoline #439 1405 S Havana St, Aurora Costco Gasoline #440 6400 W 92nd Ave, Westminster Costco Gasoline #443 8050 W Quincy Ave, Littleton Costco Gasoline #468 8686 Park Meadows Center Dr, Lone Tree Costco Gasoline #480 600 Marshall Rd, Superior Costco Gasoline #629 16375 N Washington St, Thornton Costco Gasoline #676 5175 Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada Farmers Korner Gas 16115 Hwy 9, Breckenridge Johnstown C-Store 106 E South 1st St, Johnstown K D Enterprise Inc 1490 S Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood King Soopers #86 Fuel Facility 5275 W 120th Ave, Broomfield King Soopers Fuel Center #107 25751 E Smoky Hill Rd, Aurora King Soopers Fuel Center #137 14887 Candelas Pkwy, Arvada King Soopers Fuel Center #49 2351 S Buckley Rd, Aurora King Soopers Fuel Center #607 1470 S Sheridan Blvd, Denver King Soopers Fuel Center #675 13057 S Parker Rd, Parker King Soopers Fuel Center #702 1619 Pace St, Longmont King Soopers Fuel Facility #718 2395 W 136th Ave, Broomfield King Soopers Fueling Facility #732 750 N Ridge Rd, Castle Rock Murphy Express #8621 13001 Copperhead Trail, Parker R B Food And Gas 11010 E 120th Ave, Henderson SS Fuels #302 9171 E Arapahoe Rd, Greenwood Village Safeway 27102 Main St, Conifer Safeway Fuel #2913 2451 S Taft Hill Rd, Fort Collins Safeway Fuel Center #1635 10300 Federal Blvd, Federal Heights Safeway Fuel Center #1873 9640 Washington St, Thornton Safeway Fuel Center #4614 8206 Weld CR 13, Firestone Singh Food and Sinclair 213 18th St, Greeley Stinker Store #333 13700 E Quincy Ave, Aurora Twin Star Energy #2 3550 Downing St, Denver West Evans Sinclair 2110 S Federal Blvd, DenverDenver7 has compiled the affected gas stations in the map below:Customers who received contaminated fuel  and experienced engine damage as a result can begin a reimbursement process at the gas station where they filled up, officials said in a Wednesday news conference.Those who believe they received contaminated fuel should first return to the gas station where they received the fuel to file a report, officials said. The gas station owner should then work with Sinclair on the reimbursement process.If they have receipts or anything that they can demonstrate that they did purchase the fuel from that location, that would be great, Cher Haavind, CDLE's deputy executive director and chief communications officer, said.Consumers should also report the issue to the OPS especially if the gas station says they did not receive the contaminated fuel.It would not be unusual if a consumer returned to a retailer and they are either unaware of the contamination or unclear on what are the next steps to receive the consumer complaint, Haavind said. That's our priority within the division right now, is making sure that those smaller owners are aware they do have an obligation to receive the complaint, and that is what triggers our team to work with that owner on ensuring those consumers are made whole.The list of impacted locations, which includes locations provided Tuesday evening to CDLE by Sinclair, is published on CDLEs website. The list includes Costcos, King Soopers, Safeways and smaller gas stations across 11 counties. OPS is currently working to cross-check Sinclairs list against the list theyve put together from consumer complaints.With the publication of this list if you bought fuel at facilities that are on the published list during that time period or since, and the gas station is not cooperating, get in touch with us, Zach Hope, petroleum program manager for OPS, said. We can certainly help encourage them to honor the claim, especially now that we have a list and we all can point to it and say, Sinclair believes you got bad fuel. It's time to honor claims.People who received contaminated fuel would have started experiencing engine performance issues, such as sputtering and stalling, almost immediately after driving away from the gas station, Haavind said. Engine issues that are just now showing up are probably not related to the fuel contamination, but can still be reported to OPS, she said."We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused," Corinn Smith, Sinclair's senior director of corporate communications, wrote in an email to Denver7. "As soon as we became aware that a batch of fuel delivered from the Denver terminal between the afternoon of January 7 and the morning of January 8 did not meet specifications, we immediately took action to isolate the issue. Bulk customers and distributors were notified by 8:30 a.m. that morning, and sales of the impacted product were halted."Smith said a thorough review is underway and that the company is "taking appropriate steps to prevent this from happening again."Officials are still investigating the point of contamination.The customer complaint form, which is also available in Spanish, can be found here. ...read more read less
