Audi, Honda and Porsche Issue Complaint Against Shell, Total & PSO Petrol Companies

A complaint has been filed by Honda Atlas Cars against fuel suppliers which include Shell, Total and PSO. The complaint says that these fuel companies add manganese to their gasoline. This is damaging Honda engines and other car engines.

OGRA, Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority has decided to investigate this complaint.

Other car importers like Audi and Porsche Pakistan believes that this issue should not be taken lightly. All necessary investigation should be done on it.

Manganese is an additive added to petroleum products to make petrol appear as of high quality but it not just dangerous for our environment and human health it also decreases the economy of fuel. Honda Motors Company Pakistan subsidiary, Honda Atlas filed this complaint against Oil companies and OGRA spokesperson has said that they will investigate the issue.

When manganese is added to fuel, it seems that fuel quality get high but in reality, it reduces fuel economy and harm health of users due to its dangerous emissions.

As per Honda Pakistan, fuel suppliers have used manganese to increase Research Octane Number (RON) “used to grade petroleum and lower quality fuel up to the RON 92 grade required by regulatory standards.”

Ogra spokesman Imran Ghaznavi said, “We have received a complaint from Honda, and the relevant department will look into the issue.”

Honda said that tests found a dangerous amount of manganese in fuel samples from biggest fuel companies including Shell Pakistan Ltd, Total Parco Pakistan Ltd, and Pakistan State Oil Company Ltd.

Manganese is considered dangerous at 24 mg/kg while tests showed that manganese found in fuel samples was 53 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). No officials from the companies blamed for it has yet responded.

Ilyas Fazil, head of Pakistan’s Oil Companies Advisory Council, said: “Other refineries are producing 90 RON, which is slightly lower than 92…pure 92 RON that is imported.”

Between 2015 and 2017 Pak petroleum sales have gone up 10pc.

“Now that Honda has formally complained they may also follow suit.” an official confirmed

This should be investigated and if true prevented from happening again by imposing heavy fine on these petroleum suppliers.

And Chitar prade bhe!!

Strict action should be taken against these companies if the complaint is verified and if not, then the car manufacturers should be warmed as well for trying to blame their shortcomings on fuel providers. Either way, this should not go unnoticed.

I know one thing Japanese cars perform better when the RON rating is higher! Because the fuel in Japan is of Higher RON.

Its the Gov's job to enforce the regulations on the fuel suppliers but they are busy defending 'mujhe kyun nikala'

Sadly the GOP wont do anything, lower grade oil means higher profits, GOP is too busy engaged in corruption cases to save their own skins.

Lol. Exactly.

Btw once my chemistry teacher told me that according to Pakistan law if a person is buying more then 5 litres petrol from a station. he have the right to ask for checking its octane number. Petrol stations are bound to follow otherwise will face fine if complained.

hehehe, the gov. also once issued a notification that the 0.25 Rs 0.50 Rs coins have not been demonetized and if you end up buying something for 495.50 Rs it is your right to ask for 0.50 Rs change/return. How many times we do that? Ab tu pump walay hmesha 2, 3 Rs ka petrol uper neechy krain gy and wo paisay extra cut krty hein (if you ask them to fill the tank).

Wasay nice info about octane number check. Will at least as the guy at pump, lets see what happens

And this amount to billions each year.

And this amount to billions each year.

Yup, it does!
If they end up saving 3 Rs from each car and if we consider that only one out of ten cars are going for a full tank, it still translates into billions per year!

you know what, the news i was talking about was quite a few years old (based on an article i read back then).

Just found out that the 5, 10, 25 and 50 paisa coins have been demonetized after all (and that too happened sometime in 2013/14)

Lol. Ab to umar ho gae hy apki ab kia pata koi bat 10 sal pehle suni hy ya 20 saal pehle yad kahan rehta hy ab.

People expecting strict action from a government compromised by corruption. Instead, they will get their share from this oil cartel and issue a report denying such high percentage of manganese was found.

How difficult it is to give a clean chit in Pakistan? Can there a case where 17 people are killed in a city like Lahore, an investigation takes place and not a single killer is apprehended? This is Pakistan. The land of the pure for the ruling corrupt.

It will be the Rapture if someone can break the Japanese monopoly in auto business in Pakistan.
