BRIGHTON, Colo. (CBS4) – Some drivers in Brighton are now in need of car repairs after a gas station mixed up the types of fuel they were selling — causing serious damage.

“It started sputtering, and smoking, and pulls into the driveway and just dies,” Cyndi Svanda said. Svanda’s husband knew something was wrong with their 1980 Datsun 280Z after he pumped fuel at the King Soopers fuel station in Brighton, but he didn’t know it was because he had filled up with diesel instead of gas.
