The Sunoco gas station at the Frank S. Farley service area on the Atlantic City Expressway cannot provide gas to customers, a spokesman from the South Jersey Transportation said.
A fire that erupted at the station on Saturday has damaged computers connected to the tanks and pumps, spokesman Kevin Rehmann said. He said the situation was a Sunoco issue, but said the gas pumps will be offline for at least a couple of days.
He said the issue has been posted on large electric message boards on the Expressway to inform travelers.
Jeff Shields, a spokesman for Sunoco, confirmed that electrical systems were damaged in the fire and pumps cannot work without the systems. He said there was no schedule as far as when the station will be able to sell gas again.
He said all work done to the systems has to be approved by an electrical inspector and fire inspector.
The Frank S. Farley service area, located on milepost 21.4, is one of two service areas along the Expressway. The other is the Atlantic City Visitor Welcome Center at milepost 3.5.

EASTPORT, N.Y. (WPVI) --
Police said a Long Island man set his rental car ablaze while trying to kill bedbugs inside the vehicle.
Scott Kemery suffered first- and second-degree burns in the incident Tuesday afternoon outside an Eastport King Kullen.
Police say the man poured alcohol over the insects, then sat in the car and lit a cigarette, setting off the blaze.
He fled the vehicle on his own. A line of cars went up in flames in the Long Island parking lot.
Detective Sgt. Edward Fitzgerald told Newsday that someone told Kemery that if he saturated the bedbugs with alcohol it would kill them.
Police say two other cars were heavily damaged from the intense heat of the fire.

The New Jersey Senate passed S2316, the New Home Fire Safety Act, by a vote of 23–13 on March 16. Earlier this year, the New Jersey Assembly also passed the identical A1698. The New Home Fire Safety Act would require newly constructed one- and two-family homes (that are connected to municipal water) to install fire sprinklers. Naturally, this legislation has received tremendous support from the fire safety advocates and has raised some questions from homeowners and builders. I would like to address some of the more common concerns with residential fire sprinklers.

Firefighters extinguished a Northfield house fire Tuesday on the corner of Tilton Road and Locust Drive.
Firefighters were still on the scene at 3 p.m., but Northfield Fire Chief Bruce Cummings said the fire was under control. He said the fire was in the rear of the house, which had both interior and exterior damage.
Northfield police said Patrolman Michael Bach saw smoke coming from the residence and then saw fire coming through a window in the rear of the house around 2:20 p.m.
The statement said Bach radioed to dispatch and then ran into the residence, where he located the family and evacuated them without injury. Police said the family included an adult male, three teenage children and two dogs.
Cummings called Red Cross for assistance. He said firefighters were on the scene four minutes after the call.
Police had Tilton Road closed to all traffic between Zion Road and Wabash Avenue. Pleasantville, Linwood and Somers Point fire departments assisted Northfield, Cummings said.
