I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM OFFICE AROUND 9PM WHEN I DROVE IN TO A FUEL STATION TO FILL MY TANK BUT BEFORE ME WAS A BUS THAT WAS BEING ATTENDED TO. AFTER FILLING HIS TANK HE BROUTH OUT A 5LTR KEG WHICH IS VERY TRANSPARENT BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE COLOUR OF THE FUEL BEING SOLD WAS VERY UNUSUAL THAT I NEARLY CHANGED MY MIND OF BUYING AGIN BUT I FELT A BIT SECURED SINCE AM BUYING FROM ONE OF THE LEADING OIL MARKETERS MEGA STATION (IN LAGOS(.

THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO THE OFFICE MY CAR JACKING AS IF AM RUNNING THE ENGINE AN AN EMPTY TANK AND LATER ON IT STOPPED I WAS SO SURPRISED THAT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED BUT I COULND'T FIGURE IT OUT AFTER TRYING ALL MY POSSIBLE BEST

IT WAS WHEN I CALLED A MECHANIC THAT HE TOLD ME THAT MY FUEL I BOUGHT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAULT WHICH I LATER CONFIRMED FROM THE NEWS AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE FALL VICTIM

MY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL THIS FUEL PROBLED BE A THING OF HISTORY IN NIGERIA COS OUR OIL IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD AND IF WE CANNOT PRODUCE SOMETHING GOOD FOR OUR OWN CONSUMPTION CAN'T WE IMPORT SOMETHING NICE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS SHOULD BROUGTH TO BOOK SOP THAT THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN MAKE MONEY AT THE DETRIMENT OF OTHERS WILL DESIST FROM SUCH DEADLY ACTS.

Gbasky, sorry to hear of your problems.

I trust your mechanic drained your fuel tank?

He'll also have to draw fres, uncontaminated fuel through your fuel lines, remove your fuel pump and clear. He MUST replace the fuel filter/s.

Hopefully, you car hasn't suffered any lasting damage, and you'll be back on the road in no time.

GBASKY,i totally agreed with you that deadly fuel is in circulation truely,i bought some quantity in my 5kva honda generating set,i later find out that the valve of my engine was stuck down due to the incomplete combustion of the fuel,i have to take it out for repair and i have heard similar complain from diffrent people.Please nairalander should be vigilant when buying fuel in filling station
