  Pittsburgh Terminals Corp. also announces 16 Kerosene Recall Collection

                                  Centers



    HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 21 /EMWNews/ -- Pittsburgh Terminals

Corporation is urging the public to help notify members of the Amish

community that the company has issued a recall of kerosene that may be

contaminated with gasoline, creating a risk of fire or explosion. The

company is making a special appeal on behalf of the Amish because they

often use kerosene in stoves and lamps but, due to limited access to the

media, may not be aware of the well-published news reports regarding the

kerosene recall announced earlier today by the company.



    "We are asking for anyone who has contacts or expertise in the Amish

community to help us reach out to families who may have contaminated

kerosene in their homes," said John Arnold, company spokesman. "Earlier

tonight I spoke with Robert French, Director of the Pennsylvania Emergency

Management Agency, who offered to enlist all of the Emergency Management

Agencies in the affected counties to help in our notification efforts."



    Anyone with information that may be helpful to the company's efforts to

reach out to the Amish or who would like more information about this

important recall is urged to call 717-939-0466, 1-800-692-6016, or email

[email protected].



    Since the company first learned of the possible contamination on

Wednesday, Pittsburgh Terminals Corp. has contacted all 37 of its kerosene

distributors, conducted extensive sampling of its products, notified other

suppliers in the affected area, set up 16 collection centers, held two

press conferences and prepared warning notices for widespread public

distribution.



    The company stresses that anyone who purchased kerosene from a retailer

in western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia or

southwestern New York between May 1, 2008, and August 19, 2008, should not

use the kerosene. Instead, the company is urging customers to immediately

return the potentially contaminated kerosene to one of the Kerosene Recall

Collection Centers listed below. Customers will be fully reimbursed for the

kerosene and the returned container upon completion of a simple form.



    The process for collection is very simple:



    1. Take your container of potentially contaminated kerosene to a

collection center during open business hours and leave it with an

attendant.



    2. Fill out a simple form which will enable Pittsburgh Terminals Corp.

to reimburse you for the kerosene and your container.



    3. If you need directions, visit the company's website at

point.
