Poor quality petrol and diesel in March

Monitoring of fuel quality – March 2013


(Prague, March 11, 2013)
The first months of the year saw very few poor quality fuel samples, but the results of March have been a bad news for consumers. Ten of 223 taken samples failed the quality requirements of the appropriate technical standards. “The laboratory analysis showed deviations from the quality standards in 3 motor petrol samples, 5 motor oil samples and 2 blended fuel samples, including three very serious deviations,” said Vladimír Velčovský, the Director General of the Czech Trade Inspection Authority. “I want to meet the representatives of the professional associations of fuels distributors and talk with them about the deficiencies relating to the quality of motor fuels detected within our inspections. I want to know their views on the current situation in the market and amendment of the Act on Fuels which is currently being prepared.”
