Bad gasoline at a Sunoco station has damaged several vehicles, according to police in New Jersey.

Thirteen drivers have filed complaints, police said.

The gasoline delivery reportedly was made before 7 a.m. Wednesday at the station, which has been closed as state and local agencies investigate, police said.
