PakWheels probes Shell Askari 4 water contamination issue
In a recently surfaced video on social media, a customer complained of being sold ‘tainted Hi-Octane’ from a SHELL Petrol Pump at Askari 4, Karachi.
As observed from the video, the accusations mainly stem from the possibility of fuel with a traceable quantity of water mixed in it.
The video in question shows Hi-Octane dispensed into a tall container with a petrol pump attendant taking out a sample to sniff it.
Pertinent to note that water contamination does not cause engine seizure but requires cleaning of fuel pipes and tanks.
