Sunmart released the following statement in response to an 11 News Defenders report on failed gas pumps:

"Sunmart is glad that its pumps are back in operation providing gasoline to Texans. We strongly deny that we did anything to harm our customers. Like all gas retailers in Texas, we are required to rely upon calibrations of our devices performed by State licensed technicians. We and others are concerned that State employed inspectors utilized different methods to test the devices than the nationally and legally recognized methods used by State licensed technicians. We are working hard with Texas authorities to determine why these discrepancies exist. We are proud to call Texas home and will continue to serve Texans and business and community projects as we have for nearly 40 years."

Ed Burbach, Sunmart Attorney
