SUBJECT TO CONTROLS:
Fuel stations on the territory of the Czech Republic.
OBJECT OF THE CONTROL:
Collecting samples of fuels (motor petrol, motor oil, mixed fuels and LPG) and controlling their quality. The CTI checked abiding of rule No. 3 item 1 of the law No. 311/2006 Coll., the Fuel Regulations.
CONTROL RESULTS:
Out of total 151 samples collected in June 2010 there were 7 samples that did not meet the requirements, i.e. 4.6%.

In June defects were found in motor petrol and motor oil. Out of 62 controlled samples of motor petrol, 5 samples (8.1%) did not meet the particular quality standard requirements. In 2 samples (1.6%) defect was found within the distillation test vapour pressure. Oxygen and ethanol content by calculation and motor octane number (MON) did not meet requirements in 1 case the same as research octane number (RON).
Out of 74 motor oil samples, 2 samples (2.7%) did not meet requirements. In both cases, the deviation was in the flash point.
In none of 15 collected LPG samples defects were found.
The chart, in the attached file No. 1, shows results according to the kinds of fuels type, including detected unsatisfactory criteria.
Overall data on fuel stations with detected defects in June 2010 are shown in the attachment No. 2 which also contains values of the unsatisfactory quality indicators.
In May violations were found of upper acceptable limit of bio ingredients in the fuels; it was in 1 motor petrol sample. The maximal detected content of ethanol in motor petrol was 20.9% of content. In motor oil the upper acceptable limit was not violated. The maximal value of FAME content was 6.8% of content.
Analysis of the collected samples showed deviations from quality standards in 2 samples of motor oils and in 5 samples of motor petrol. In June there were 4.6% of unsatisfactory samples.
