Exactly who damaged the Marsden Point Oil Refinery’s fuel pipeline remains a mystery.
But the owner of a Ruakaka property in Northland where the damage was discovered denies knowing anything about it.
Lynton McMullen told 1 News he didn’t damage the pipe with a digger.
The damage is estimated to have happened about three years ago.
The pipeline, which supplies fuel to petrol stations in Auckland and the city’s airport, forced more fuel to be trucked down from Marsden Point and saw many flights cancelled.
Northland Regional Council confirms it is continuing its investigation into the incident.
