Consumer Exposure Station｜180,000 to buy 20 tons of gasoline and turn it into "sewage"? Oil companies: need to investigate
"The oil that was just brought back from the oil depot the day before, was found to be a tank of 'sewage' the next day." Recently, Mr. Liu from Heilongjiang reported to The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that his gas station in August 20 tons of ethanol gasoline was extracted from the refined oil depot of PetroChina Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch. The next day, after refueling for customers, two vehicles broke down. After inspection, it was found that the oil was unqualified. "I lost nearly 20 tons. Ten thousand, but so far no one has given me an explanation."
In this regard, the staff of Heilongjiang Sales Branch of PetroChina Co., Ltd. said that the current situation has been reported, but there is no solution yet.
A manager of the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch said that it is necessary to investigate whether the gasoline storage tanks are polluted or not.
According to Mr. Liu, he runs a gas station. On August 1, he purchased 20 tons of ethanol gasoline from the Harbin branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Nongken Petroleum Co., Ltd. at a cost of 185,000 yuan. Pick up goods from the refined oil depot of the chemical branch.
"We sold two oils the next day after picking up the goods, but the two cars broke down after driving a few hundred meters after refueling, causing the vehicles to stall." Mr. Liu said that the owner of the car questioned that there was a problem with the gasoline, and the gas station had to pay for it. The two owners suffered a total of more than 8,000 yuan in economic losses.
In order to find out the reason, on August 5, Mr. Liu took a gasoline sample and sent it to a gas station for testing. The results showed that many indicators in the sample gasoline exceeded the standard.
The gasoline was then sealed and not sold again, and feedback was given to the Harbin branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Nongken Petroleum Co., Ltd.
"The branch company reported to the provincial company, and the provincial company arranged for the Heilongjiang Suihua sales branch of PetroChina to connect with this matter." On August 13, the staff of the Suihua sales branch responded to Mr. Sampling was carried out and sent to the Heilongjiang Provincial Institute of Quality Supervision and Inspection for testing. The report issued by the institute showed that the oil product was a substandard product, with a moisture content of 25.2% (the technical requirement was ≤0.2%) and a density of 850 (The technical requirements are 720-775), "both values are seriously exceeded."
Mr. Liu believes that after two tests, the 20 tons of gasoline he bought obviously has quality problems. He speculates that "the 20 tons of gasoline may not be real gasoline, but mixed with the bottom water of the oil depot. The bottom of the storage tank for high-quality fuel oil will have an appropriate height of 'bottom water', if due to poor management or work negligence, the water in it, that is, oily sewage, may be brought to the gas station along with the raw materials."
Mr. Liu said that after the incident, he immediately contacted the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch where the gasoline was picked up, but the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch asked him to contact the Harbin Branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Nongken Petroleum Co., Ltd., the seller. Get a solution, "I lost nearly 200,000 before and after."
On December 27, a reporter from The Paper called the Heilongjiang Suihua sales branch responsible for handling the matter. A manager surnamed Yang said: "He didn't buy oil from me, and he didn't give us the money. You can ask the person involved."
On the same day, the staff of the Heilongjiang sales branch of PetroChina said that the matter would be reported to the relevant departments, but they did not know about other situations.
Later, the reporter called the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch where Mr. Liu extracted the oil. As to whether the oil was contaminated during storage, a manager of the company surnamed Yu said that there were indeed some problems with Mr. Liu's oil, but the oil did not come from the source. The company purchased directly from the company's oil depot, "We have gone through the normal process to answer, but they did not accept it, and the 20 tons of gasoline went through multiple processes of transportation and unloading. His gasoline storage tank We have to check again whether there is any pollution and whether other oil has been installed.”
