The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka yesterday sealed two Octane 92 petrol dispensing machines at a Ceylon Petroleum Corporation-owned filling station in Colombo 07.

As per the statement issued by the PUCSL, it has found that the two machines had a short delivery of 1.2% or Rs. 5.40 per litre of Octane 92 petrol sold.

The detection was the outcome of a joint exercise by PUCSL, IT and Department of Weight and Measurement.

The move followed after the Commission on Tuesday said samples will be collected from all fuel stations countrywide for a quality survey after receiving complaints from many consumers.

“Last month alone we received over 100 complaints that the petrol and diesel distributed are low in quality,” PUCSL Chairman told journalists.

Noting over 1,200 fuel stations are in the country, he said if they receive 100 complaints from 100 places it translates to around 10% of the stations having low-quality fuel.
