  Many just wanted information about getting their vehicles repaired, while others complained that their reimbursement checks were not being processed fast enough, Eric Hamilton, chief of Florida's Bureau of Petroleum Inspection, part of the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, told the paper.
  ...
  The state is satisfied with how Shell and Motiva have responded, Hamilton said.And Florida has since instituted an emergency rule establishing maximum levels for elemental sulfur in gasoline sold in the state."We have been testing gasoline as it arrives at the terminals, and we have not found any gasoline that would be corrosive to the silver [electrical contacts]," he said.

  Eric Hamilton, the bureau's chief of petroleum inspection, said his agency could mandate this test in Florida as part of an emergency rule to be issued next week.Hamilton said that although refiners test for and limit the amount of sulfur in gas, there are no state standards for elemental sulfur.
  
  "It caught us off guard," Hamilton said.
  ...
  Hamilton, the state regulator, said he might include a requirement for the silver strip test in an emergency rule that his office might issue within days.He hopes it will help prevent problems.
  
  "I don't expect to see similar incidents like this for another 100 years," Hamilton said.

  A confluence of recent issues - stronger than expected demand in August, refineries shut down by the Northeast's blackout Aug. 14 and a broken pipeline in Arizona - deflected supplies to other regions and contributed to higher prices in recent days, said Eric Hamilton, a spokesman for Florida's Bureau of Petroleum Inspection.
  
  "I think prices will drop very, very slowly, but then there will be a diversion of oil [from gasoline] to make heating oil," Hamilton said.

  Eric Hamilton, chief of the state's Bureau of Petroleum Inspection, suggested the fuel gauge problem "will probably take a while to show up in all the [affected] cars."Damage to gauges may take longer to detect in some cars that have a lower volume of tainted gas, he said.
  
  The petroleum inspection office is relying on independent laboratories to test all gasoline coming into the state, since the government doesn't yet have the equipment needed to test for corrosive amounts of elemental sulfur under a state standard issued June 7.
  
  Hamilton said the state could not be sure that gasoline entering South Florida between June 2, when Shell said new shipments were up to normal standards, and June 7, when the new standard went into effect, was free of elemental sulfur, since it was applying an earlier standard.

  Eric Hamilton, chief of the state's Petroleum Inspection Bureau, said although the state is still "struggling to get gasoline in here with all the various hurricanes," the supply situation is better than it was earlier this month.
  
  "For the most part, gasoline is flowing pretty well here now.There will be enough gasoline for everyone to evacuate," Hamilton said.
  
  Despite the improved supplies, when motorists fill up as hurricanes approach, it creates higher demand, he said.
