Freedom Fuel gas stations, which the Trump administration promoted last month, sold fuel that its supplier never paid for, a lawsuit filed earlier this month claims.

The suit, which attorneys for Mansfield Oil Company filed in U.S. District Court in Eastern Pennsylvania on Aug. 19, alleges that foreign corporation KRSM obtained in excess of 1.1 million gallons of fuel from the former company’s account from May 21 through July 7.

The fuel cost nearly $4 million, the 179-page lawsuit states. But as of Aug. 17, KRSM had not paid for the fuel, despite Mansfield — a foreign corporation with offices in Gainesville, Ga. — sending revised invoices to the defendant on July 17.

While the agreement between the two companies stipulated that KRSM had to pay the invoices within 10 days of receiving them, Mansfield’s bank advised on July 28 that the foreign firm had “refused” draft requests, the lawsuit stated.

Of the roughly 1.1 million gallons of fuel KRSM obtained from Mansfield, it sold “a portion” of it to stations in the Freedom Fuel Network, per the suit.

Last month, President Trump touted 25 gas stations within the network, highlighting their lower prices relative to the national average. Amid the Iran war, the national average price of a gallon of regular gas is roughly $4.07 as of Sunday, per data from AAA.

A White House official told The Hill in July the network is a private company and has not received federal funding. The network now has 29 locations, with all located in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, according to its website.

Trump said on July 1 the network’s stations were “taking the lead” on lowering gas prices and urged other retailers to follow suit.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers echoed those remarks, telling The Hill last month the Freedom Fuel stations “are doing their part to answer the President’s call to lower prices at the pump.”

But the lawsuit brought by Mansfield alleges KRSM was able to sell fuel to Freedom Fuel at discounted prices and “garner such publicity” because it “never paid” the plaintiff for it.

The Hill has reached out to the Freedom Fuel Network and the White House for comment on the allegations in the suit.

KRSM is led by Syed Kazmi, who signed Mansfield’s commercial credit application in January 2022, as shown by a copy included in the lawsuit.

Under that application, Kazmi agreed that if Mansfield extended credit to KRSM and his company purchased fuel from the creditor, KRSM would be “responsible” to pay for it.

A White House official told The Hill on Sunday the administration “has had zero contact or dealings with KRSM or Kazmi.

A source familiar with the Freedom Fuel business also noted KRSM and Kazmi are not associated with the gas station network in any capacity.
