NNPC compromised in importing pms mixed with sulphur that iis damaging engines, that is why u will experience scarcity until the issue is resolved nationwide. Abuja and lagos should start to see signs today

Careful observers will have noticed this for years now, I mean the last four or five years.
You just cannot top up at a gas station without a noticeable change in your car's performance by either a drag or boost in acceleration and at times in cold/hot ignition and smooth or harsh idling.

I'm sure most will have mistaken it for maintenance issues but I have known it was the differing quality of the gasoline sold.
We really and urgently need to get refining onshore.
These folks in authority are just purchasing whatever they want from wherever they want and with the death of the DPR, no one to check.

DPR should be.

Does the DPR still exist under the new PIL?

Hopefully the issue is resolved soon. Check my profile for your solar flood lights and precise resistivity meter for geophysical survey with a year warranty.

Yes, the bad fuel is in Ibadan. Bought some last week at an nnpc station and had to change the car's fuel pump on Saturday -- that was when I saw that I'd bought bad fuel (looked like it had been mixed with water, but it still mixed when shaken). And even after changing the pump, the car still struggles to start --no alternator or battery issues as far as I know.

@Egunmogaji2 if your bike has been going off while riding or feels like it's jerking, chances are you bought the bad fuel. My car did the same thing last week.

P.S: Where did you buy the fuel? Mine was from an nnpc station along Akala express if you're familiar with the area. Might save some other person from making the same mistake.

I noticed same as well, engine goes off while in motion. What do you advise in this situation

I hope I make it home.

I’ll drain the tank and carburetors in the morning.

Nigeria has occured to me. Again cry

PS: I know that NNPC very well. I bought the suspected fuel at a nimpco?? station near Apata market junction inbound from jankarta.

Exactly! Honestly, if I'd known, I'd have just drained the fuel and emptied the tank. But I just changed the fuel pump and it ran properly.

Then, bought some more fuel in the hopes that it would dilute the concentration of the bad fuel (in hindsight, not sure if that was a smart decision angry )

Sadly, the vehicle still struggles to start --takes a while to crank or starts on the second try. cry embarassed. So, I'll just use it like that until the tank is almost empty, then get my mechanic to drain the tank and sort out the fuel system.

However, if our resident automotive engr @Gazzuzz can chime in on what to do, that would be great.

I'm real sorry to hear that. Nigeria seems to be "occuring" to us all.

This may not be bad fuel iwant to believe the tank is rusty, and it's almost empty that's the colour you get, Lagos state hardly get bad petrol except for some tanker drivers who load water into their tank to prevent fuel leakage on transit the station manager should have done justice to this before it comes to public domain
