Petrol firm ordered to return low-quality fuel

The Ministry of Science and Technology has ordered Thanh Le Import-Export Trading Company and PV Oil to re-export batches of substandard petrol.

More than 7,600 tonnes of petrol A92, imported from Singapore by the company was found to contain sec-butyl acetate – a disallowed additive in Viet Nam.

A batch of A95 petrol of PV Oil was also found to contain the same additive.

Under current technical regulations, petrol additives must be registered and approved by the ministry and proved safe to health, environment and engines.
