It seems as though BP’s tainted gas drama has finally come to a close. The company has identified the source of the problem with its gasoline and corrected it. Starting Tuesday, August 21, BP had to recall 2.1 million gallons of gasoline from the Northwest Indiana, Chicagoland, and Milwaukee regions of the United States. The gas had high polymeric residue which caused difficulties for cars when starting.BP found the problem to be at its Whiting, Indiana refinery, in the alkylation unit. Processes within the plant have been modified to rectify the problem.
