(Center Township, Pa) The GetGo location in Monaca has been accused of selling bad diesel recently. State testing results from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture indicate that the diesel particle count is outside of specified limits and failed to meet ASTM D975 workmanship requirement due to visible water contamination.

A man who purchased diesel at the location on Tuesday, February 20th says his truck stopped running not long after buying the fuel and it has been in the shop since. He says he called the store to ask if they had problems with their diesel, and they denied any issues telling him he was the only person to ask about it. The man says they were “rude and difficult to work with”.

Sources say diesel sales at the location will be forced to stop until the issue is resolved and an inspection is done.

Beaver County Radio reached out to Giant Eagle, the parent company of GetGo for a response. Representatives of GetGo say a customer reported an issue regarding diesel fuel purchased at their Monaca GetGo last week. They say they have remained in contact with the customer as they investigate the claim.

They added “We quickly tested the fuel at the site and found no evidence of contamination. Additionally, no other customers have come forth with concerns. We have reached out to the State and are coordinating appropriate next steps, but have nothing further to report at this time.”
