Object and results of control:
Samples of motor petrol, motor oil, mixed fuel, bio fuel (organic fuel), LPG, CNG and Ethanol E85 were taken to quality examination. Abidance with statue on fuels was checked (section 3 par. 1 of the Act No. 311/2006 Coll.).
Out of the total number of 221 samples taken in May 2011, 10 samples did not meet quality standards’ requirements, i.e. 4,5%.

In May, defects were detected in samples of motor petrol, motor oil, mixed motor oil, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and Ethanol E85.
Out of 101 checked samples of motor petrol, 1 sample failed (1.0%) as defects were found in quality parameters distilled content at 100°C, ethanol content and oxygen content by calculation.
Out of 93 controlled motor oil samples, 6 samples did not meet requirements (6.5%). In 5 of them deviation in flash point was detected and 1 sample did not meet requirements of quality parameters density and FAME content.
Out of 3 taken samples of fatty acid methyl ester, 1 sample (33.3%) did not meet quality standards’ requirements concerning flash point.
Out of 6 samples of mixed motor oil, 1 sample (16.7%) failed in flash point, too.
One of two taken Ethanol E85 samples (i.e. 50%) did not meet quality parameters requirements – ethanol content and higher alcohols and motor petrol content.
In May, violation of upper acceptable level of bio ingredients was detected in 1 sample of motor petrol. The found maximal ethanol content in motor petrol is 59% of content. The upper acceptable level in motor oil was not violated.
Conclusion:
In May, laboratory analysis showed deviations from quality standards in 10 samples (i.e. 4,5% of taken fuels) – 6 motor oils samples, 1 motor petrol sample, 1 Ethanol E85 sample, 1 sample of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and 1 mixed motor oil sample.
All 15 LPG samples and 1 compressed natural gas sample met requirements of the particular quality standard.
Out of the total number of 221 samples, 20 were examined in a mobile laboratory. Ban was issued on sale of motor oil and motor petrol at 1 filling station.
Results according to fuel types, including the detected nonconforming criteria, are shown in the attachments.
