RV owner dumps sewage into diesel tank at Colorado gas station

At a gas station in Colorado, an RV driver mistakenly emptied their black and gray water tanks into an underground diesel tank that had just been filled with fresh fuel. The station had a free RV dump station on site, but the driver instead lifted a heavy industrial manhole cover by the roadside. The station now faces costs for industrial tank cleaning and disposal of several thousand liters of contaminated diesel.
