Motorhome driver's mistake forces Colorado gas station to dump all diesel
© L'Auto-Journal

In late May 2026 in Montrose, Colorado, a motorhome driver mistakenly emptied his toilet into an underground diesel tank at a Maverik gas station. The station had to pump out and dispose of the entire fuel stock, estimated at 38,000 to 76,000 liters, and clean the tank. The incident occurred despite a free dump station being available nearby, located close to the fuel access hatches.
