As of Monday, January 12, 2026, the Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) has received over 400 complaints from consumers about contaminated fuel. OPS continues to log and process these complaints. Inspections and fuel sample testing remain ongoing with a focus on smaller locations that may not have as robust of a claims filing process. All retailers are being encouraged to honor customer claims.

OPS has also requested that Sinclair produce a list of retailers that received the contaminated fuel from the HF Sinclair terminal in Henderson. Sinclair has not yet produced such a list, but OPS is hopeful Sinclair will release a list in the coming days.

Consumers who have been impacted are encouraged to contact their point of sale to start the reimbursement process. Individual gas stations will work with each customer through their specific claims process. We recommend consumers be diligent and keep all receipts and repair records.

OPS continues to investigate the cause of the incident and is considering appropriate enforcement mechanisms available in current OPS rules and regulations. OPS remains committed to protecting consumers and is exploring all options to ensure Sinclair also upholds its commitment to help affected customers.
