Drivers in Amriswil TG were surprised by a mishap at a Coop filling station: instead of petrol, they were given water in June, which caused their cars to break down.

On returning to the petrol station store, the drivers were asked to leave their personal details and insurance information on a handwritten note.
The media office of Coop Mineralöl AG confirmed that the incident was due to a technical problem caused by heavy rain. This problem has since been rectified.

The media office remained silent to the Tagblatt regarding the exact time frame and the number of vehicles affected.
"Our warning systems detected the water ingress," said the media office, without giving any further details.
