The state-owned Guyana Oil Company Limited (GUYOIL) is investigating the discharging of alleged tainted fuel from its dealers on the Essequibo Coast and has taken a series of steps.
In an advertisement in today’s Guyana Chronicle, GUYOIL said that following recent complaints of excessive engine smoke seen by outboard motor customers and the rise in engine sump oil noticed by car customers it had launched an investigation.
In the meanwhile, it said that it has taken a series of steps.
The sale of gasoline has been stopped at the Adventure Depot and at all dealers on the Essequibo Coast and the alleged tainted gasoline purchased by dealers was returned to the depot for which credit was given. GUYOIL also said that the gasoline at the depot will be disposed of and that fresh gasoline has since been delivered to the depot. It added that complaints by customers are being addressed and that it regretted any inconvenience caused.
