SIAM says corrosion of vehicle parts due to high chloride presence in fuel
New Delhi: The Auto Industry body SIAM has raised concerns over the presence of high chloride levels in fuel causing issues related to vehicle parts and replacements. SIAM has demanded stringent checks to address the problem, stating that contamination creates a wrong impression about E20 fuel among customers. The organization has since withdrawn the letter sent to the petroleum ministry on July 28, based on investigations of vehicle part failures.
SIAM clarified that chloride's high detrimental impact on engine parts necessitates chloride limits in fuel specifications and quality control to avoid failures in customer vehicles.
