There was a problem loading this video. This could be due to a temporary network issue or the video might be unavailable.

Someone shared this video on Instagram from July 3. A customer refueled at this petrol pump, and shortly afterward the vehicle broke down. When the mechanic inspected it, what was supposed to be petrol reportedly turned out to be water. The customer then returned to the same pump and... asked the staff to draw fuel from the same nozzle for testing. In the video, the sample collected in a transparent tube appears to be almost entirely water, which is then shown to the pump manager. The current petrol pump infrastructure was never designed to safely store high ethanol fuel blends. With the monsoon underway, even a small amount of water entering underground storage tanks can trigger phase separation, where ethanol separates from the petrol. This contaminated fuel can then reach vehicles, potentially causing severe engine damage and leaving consumers to bear costly repair bills.show more

Dozens of Vehicles Break Down After Fuelling at Rudrapur Petrol Pump, Adulteration Alleged Dozens of vehicles broke down shortly after fuelling at a petrol pump in Rudrapur, Udham Singh Nagar on the same day. Angry customers returned to the pump and alleged adulteration or excessive ethanol in the fuel. When petrol was drained from affected vehicles on the spot, witnesses claimed the colour varied from tank to tank. The pump management denied adulteration but quietly refunded the money of affected customers and said high ethanol content may have caused the issue in some vehicles. District Supply Officer Vinod Tiwari confirmed the pump has been sealed and an investigation ordered. Action will follow based on findings. Refunding money is not accountability. Someone needs to explain why dozens of vehicles stopped on the same stretch of road on the same day after filling up at the same pump.

E10 EXPERIMENT SHOWS WHY WATER IN FUEL CAN KILL YOUR ENGINE 🚨 HOST: We added only 40 ml water to E10 petrol. After shaking, look at the bottom layer. It has almost doubled. EXPERT: Water has pulled the ethanol down. That bottom layer is now water plus ethanol, and the top is almost pure petrol. HOST: What happens if this goes into the fuel tank? EXPERT: If that layer reaches the engine, it may misfire or not start at all. HOST: And E20 makes this worse? EXPERT 😳: Yes. With E20, there is double ethanol, so if water enters the tank, the separation problem becomes more severe.

#WATCH | The Petroleum Dealers Association has urged the Centre to reconsider the rollout of E20 (20% ethanol-blended petrol), claiming the fuel is causing operational and customer-related challenges at fuel stations. Association President Sasanka Sekhar Sahu said many vehicles on Indian roads, including several BS6 models, were not originally designed for a 20% ethanol blend. He alleged that the fuel has led to complaints of clogged carburettors and other mechanical issues, with frustrated customers often confronting petrol pump owners despite dealers having no role in fuel policy. The Centre has been pushing the adoption of E20 fuel as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower emissions and boost ethanol production. However, dealers have now called for a review of the policy, arguing that vehicle compatibility concerns need to be addressed. #E20 #Petrol #Fuel #Ethanol #Automobile #BS6 #India #BreakingNews #Moneycontrol

India is increasing ethanol blending in petrol from 20% to 30%. But what exactly does that mean for your car, fuel bills, and the environment? In this video, we break down what ethanol blending actually is, why governments across the world promote it, and how India’s E30 push could affect everyday drivers. While higher ethanol blends may help reduce oil imports, support farmers, and lower certain emissions, they could also lead to lower mileage, more frequent refuelling, and potential compatibility issues for older vehicles. The video also looks at the environmental concerns around large-scale ethanol production, including water usage and pressure on agricultural land. Note: In its May 15 notice, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) established standards for E22, E25, E27, and E30 fuel blends. However, the Government of India has not yet announced a nationwide commercial rollout timeline or mandated E30 petrol at retail fuel stations. Keep watching DeKoder for more such explainers. #EthanolBlending #E30 #Petrol #India #FuelPrices #Cars #Climate #Biofuel #Explained #DeKoder

#WATCH | Guwahati, Assam: Raijor Dal MLA Akhil Gogoi staged protest in the Assam assembly premises against Ethanol blend fuel He says, "By mixing 20% ethanol in petrol, they have ruined our car engines. Mileage has also reduced. The government is saying that this is an experiment. If it is an experiment, then try it in one or two vehicles. Why in the entire country? If you want to experiment further, then make a provision that for those who use normal petrol, it will be normal petrol and for those who use E20, it will be E-E20. And thirdly, you should look at the price, look at the price of petrol, 20% ethanol is mixed in it. Has the price of petrol reduced after this?..."

This is the scene at petrol pumps in #Hyderabad city today. 3 Oil marketing companies #HPCL, #BPCL, #IOCL — are responsible for the ongoing #petrol and #diesel shortage in #Hyderabad. The current #fuel crisis is not due to external factors like the Iran war or lockdown rumours, but due to a dispute between oil companies and petrol pump owners. Several petrol pumps in Hyderabad have shut down as a result of this dispute. Oil companies have suddenly introduced new rules, including stopping the credit facility for fuel purchases over the past two days. Earlier, petrol pumps received fuel on credit and paid oil companies after one or two days, which was convenient for station owners. Over the last 3–4 days, oil companies have made advance payment mandatory before supplying fuel. Many petrol pumps have stopped operations as they are being asked to clear old dues and pay upfront for new stock. This has increased pressure on the few stations that still have fuel, leading to stocks running out within a day. Pumps are reopening only when fresh stock becomes available, causing repeated closures. Petrol pump owners allege that oil companies are deliberately creating difficulties and question the sudden policy change during a critical time. Long queues have formed at operational petrol stations as fuel stocks deplete quickly. Many petrol pumps have remained closed across the city for the past two days. Hundreds of vehicles are lining up at fuel stations throughout the day, causing major traffic congestion in city. Traffic police have intervened, asking motorists not to believe rumours and working to ease congestion. There is a growing demand for the Civil Supplies Department to intervene, resolve the dispute, and restore normal fuel supply in the city. #fuelcrisis #fuelshortage

After a proper complaint and verification, the fuel shortage was exposed, leading to a heated scene at the pump Why this fraud is still going on?

All those who have suddenly “discovered” problems with their cars and fuel economy may be disappointed to revisit what the UPA itself was saying. The then UPA Petroleum Minister accused the NDA of ignoring the interests of sugarcane farmers and promised Parliament that his government would blend ethanol with petrol. He even urged people to drink less so that more ethanol could be diverted for fuel! So where were all these catastrophic claims about engines and mileage then? Funny how people’s cars never seemed to complain when ethanol blending was UPA policy, but suddenly develop “problems” when the same objective is being implemented today through a phased rollout. The policy isn’t new. Only the politics around it is.

Did a simple ethanol check myself yesterday! Watch it till the end! Took 170 mL of E20 petrol, added 20 mL of water, shook it well, and after the layers separated, the water/ethanol layer measured 40 mL. That suggests roughly 20 mL of ethanol in 170 mL of fuel around 11.8% ethanol (roughly E12), not E20. If my calculations are correct, then I have a genuine question: has the ethanol content quietly been reduced from E20 to E12 temporarily because of a widespread backlash? or is there another explanation for these results? Either way, this also shows how readily ethanol attracts water and what moisture inside a fuel tank can potentially do over time. Happy to be corrected if my calculations or the test method are wrong!! ☺️

Without addressing people's concerns regarding E20, the government has now announced E100, which means 100% ethanol and no petrol. In this video, we explain the key concerns regarding blended fuel that the government seems to be ignoring in its push for rapid ethanol adoption.

In the UK 🇬🇧 , you’ll have to fill in your petrol for yourself into your car for most of the filling stations. You’ll pay and then take up the nozzle to fill your car with fuel. There is no need for fuel attendants most of the time. Can this ever happen in Nigeria?

This video will give you an indication of the extent to which governance needs to be fixed in West Bengal. The woman in the video is a PWD employee, and her husband is a local Trinamool Congress leader. Her job is to open the water pump office on time, ensure water supply to the houses in the locality, and maintain the hardware. Instead, she would keep the pump house locked and enjoy a siesta at home every day.

The day AP did this to me, I cried. It was several years ago at the AP station in Gbagada I was working at Anthony Village at the time My car ran out of fuel on my way to work, I drove into AP station and bought 5000 Naira worth of fuel I paid and as I was driving out of the petrol station, the car sputtered and the engine died. I didn’t even consider that it was a fuel issue I thought the car, which was an old BMW had developed a fault. I took a bus to Ketu to get my mechanic We returned together to the car and the mechanic said “Epo lo tan ninu e” I said “No way, see nah, I just bought fuel before the car died here. The man looked at me, said I should give him 2000 Naira He went to another filling station and brought back a Jerry can full of petrol. He poured it into the car and the car started. I started avoiding AP fuel stations from that day

Pakistan still sells cheap 70cc motorcycles that don't even have a fuel gauge, so riders often have no idea how much petrol is left in their bikes' fuel tanks. To solve this, many Pakistanis drill two holes in their bikes' fuel tanks and attach a transparent pipe to the outside so they can see the petrol level. Pakistan really is a very poor country. 😂😂
