Fatgbems has apologised, saying rain water seeped into one of the station's storage tanks.
"The said incident was a result of an overflow of water into one of the station storage tanks due to the recent rainfall. It is not in our culture to dispense low-quality products to our customers, as the said incident was a natural occurrence that was beyond our control.
"Our technicians are currently attending to the affected vehicles of customers.
"Once again, we sincerely apologise for all the inconvenience that the incident might have caused, we are saddened by this and hereby reaffirm our commitment to exceptional service delivery at all times," Fatgbems said in a statement.
