Gas at Channel
Dear Forum Members,
I've been a forum member since 2009 but this is my first post, as I'm more intimately involved in an event noted here. I presently work at the Channel Marine Ships Store and manage the gas dock operations. We did have an issue with gas the weekend of May 13th. We stopped pumping gas on Sunday as soon as the problem became apparent. We have heard from a few customers who have had problems with their boats and have handled them in a way that makes me proud to be working here. So far it appears to be somewhat random as to what boats have had problems and which ones have not. As some have observed we had technicians here a good part of last week and were not pumping fuel. All 8,000+ gallons of affected fuel have been removed from our tank and fresh fuel was brought in before we re-opened for business. So, AllAbourdon, you have nothing to worry about. We are monitoring the fuel in the tank extremely closely and there is absolutely no sign of the problems of earlier this month.
If you are one of the customers who purchased gas at Channel Marine over the weekend of the 13th and have a problem with your boat, please contact us immediately at 603-366-4801. We do appreciate the support and service of GAFTEK who made the necessary repairs and have been very responsive throughout the past week as well as Dennis Burke Oil, our supplier who has worked closely with us in arranging for the removal of the affected fuel and resupplying us with the VALVTECT fuel that so many of our customer have come to depend on. I hope all forum member boaters will stop by during the season to see the great "stuff" in our Ships Store as well as fill up with great quality fuel.
Happy and Safe Boating!
Dave Bowman
Store Manager
