Bucks County officials spent Friday afternoon testing the gas at a Shell station in Falls Township.
The county inspectors were checking into the possibility that fuel was contaminated with diesel at the Shell at the corner of New Falls Road and Hood Boulevard, according to a report from 6abc.

Mike Bannon, the director of Bucks County’s consumer protection and weights and measures department, told the TV station that several area residents who pumped gas from the station reported their vehicles were running “extremely sluggish or not at all.”
Diesel fuel can have disastrous impacts on vehicles that have gasoline combustion engines.
The owners of the gas station were reportedly working with county officials.
