Cars Covered With White Powder At Local NY Fueling Station
Imagine waiting to get to the front of the fuel line and start filling up your car's fuel tank. Your gasoline is pumping into the tank when suddenly a plume of white powder shoots down and covers your entire vehicle.
This is exactly what happened to several people at a Syracuse, NY gas station. There were reports of vehicle damage ranging from minor cleaning to paint & electrical damage to a couple of vehicles.
The cause for the eruption was a malfunction in the fueling stations fire extinguishing system. Some customers are seeking legal council to get their cars repaired.
Check out the video coverage from one of the victimized vehicles covered in sodium bicarbonate (the main ingredient in this extinguishing system...).
