Mansfield Oil sues over $4 million in fuel allegedly supplied to Freedom Fuel stations

  • Mansfield Oil sued Syed Kazmi and KRSM over allegedly unpaid fuel deliveries.
  • $4 million of fuel allegedly went unpaid after more than a million gallons were collected.
  • Freedom Fuel Network expanded to 29 stations after launching across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Mansfield Oil Company has sued New Jersey businessman Syed Kazmi and his company, KRSM, alleging they took more than a million gallons of fuel worth nearly $4 million from a Pennsylvania terminal between late May and early July without paying. Some of the fuel was supplied to at least 10 Pennsylvania stations listed in the Freedom Fuel Network, a gas-station network that drew attention after charging $3.47 per gallon at 25 Pennsylvania and New Jersey locations in early July. The price was about 40 cents below market levels, which had risen amid the Iran war, and President Donald Trump publicly praised the retailer. Kazmi and KRSM deny the allegations, saying Mansfield’s invoices contained errors, including apparent double charges. The lawsuit does not name Freedom Fuel or its stations as defendants, accuse them of wrongdoing, identify Kazmi’s relationship with the network or specify how much of the disputed fuel reached its locations. The network was legally formed on June 25 by Randy Brown and Yoni Gontownik and has since expanded to 29 stations. The case is part of a broader series of legal claims involving the Kazmi brothers and their companies. On Friday, a judge ordered Kazmi and KRSM to keep at least $2.75 million in a bank account while the dispute proceeds.
