No water found in Penang petrol station tanks, says ministry
Officials made checks of the tanks, pumps and fuel at the station in Batu Kawan, said the state director of domestic trade and cost of living.
The state director of domestic trade and cost of living, S Jegan, announced that no water was found in the RON95 petrol tanks at a Batu Kawan petrol station, despite claims on social media. The ministry conducted visual checks of fuel dispensed from all pump nozzles, corroborated by a representative from the petrol company and the station's owner.
The inspection, initiated after social media users reported vehicle issues following refueling at the station, aimed to identify the cause of the problems, including the presence of water or contaminants in the tanks and fuel system. Physical inspections confirmed no accumulation of water beyond normal condensation. Visual checks revealed the fuel appeared clear, debunking the claim of water contamination.
