Re: Pump malfunction at 26272 Northwest Freeway, Cypress, Texas.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I’m writing to bring to your attention a fault on one of the gas pumps at the Murphy’s Oil (Walmart) at Cypress-Rosehill and US 290 in Cypress Texas. On the afternoon of April 11th, the auto stop feature of pump 6 failed to register. As a result the pump continued to flow after the tank was full and dispensed a fair quantity of fuel onto the pavement. Based upon refueling logs for the vehicle being fueled, pump 6 overfilled and overflowed the tank by 4 gallons before it was finally manually shut off.

The management on duty was courteous and helpful. The amount that overflowed the tank was in dispute, but we agreed on a refund for just less than 2 gallons. I want to ensure that this failing pump is inspected and repaired. I’ll be happy to provide any further documentation that may be needed to facilitate repairs.

Here are the specifics about the incident:
Location: Murphy USA #7054
26272 Northwest Freeway
Cypress, TX
Date: 04-11-07
Time: 7:05pm CST
Trace: 4186
Invoice: 007178
Charge Amount: $34.67
Pump: 6
Product: Regular Unleaded (87 octane)
Price/Gal: $2.659
Quantity: 13.038 gallons
Vehicle: 2007 Toyota Prius
Capacity: 11.9 gallons fuel system capacity (includes tank, fuel pump, injector system)

I hope that the faulting component on pump 6 can be identified and replaced before other such spills occur.
