There was a chain of cut price fuel outlets here that were notorious for fuel problems and engine damage........run by gentlemen of middle eastern appearance--as the cops say--anyhoo,eventually fined $8 million by the consumer protection for selling recycled paint thinner as fuel,and still on the Customs & Excise wanted list for non payment of fuel excise. ----the proprietor has decided to return to Iran.....Despite the recycled thinner fuel being common knowlege ,it took the feds several years to act.....and in typical government fashion they just stuck fuel excise on all paint thinners...problem solved.
