A gas station in Shanghe County, Jinan City, Shandong Province, was fined 80,000 yuan for selling unqualified diesel

Recently, in the typical case of "Operation Iron Fist" reported by the Market Supervision Bureau of Jinan City, Shandong Province, a case
involving the sale of unqualified diesel fuel at a gas station in Shanghe County was involved.

On August 10, 2022, according to reports from the public, the Shanghe County Market Supervision Bureau opened a case for investigation
into the sale of unqualified diesel at Zuojing gas stations in its jurisdiction.

After investigation, the test result of the "flash point (closed mouth)" of the automotive diesel inspection project operated by the parties sampled by the bureau was 57.
6, while the standard index was not less than 60, and the single item was judged to be unqualified
.
The conduct of the parties violated the relevant provisions
of China's Product Quality Law.
The bureau imposed an administrative penalty
of ordering the parties to stop selling substandard diesel and fining them 80,000 yuan.

The quality of diesel greatly affects the performance of
the engine.
Diesel has a low flash point, and it is easy to gasify in the oil pipeline to form a gas resistance when used, resulting in insufficient engine fuel supply, resulting in stalling or unstable driving; At the same time, the flash point is the lowest temperature that causes the instantaneous combustion of combustibles, which is an important indicator of oil safety, and the lower the flash point, the more dangerous
diesel storage is.
The market supervision department will continue to crack down on illegal activities such as the sale of substandard refined oil, earnestly do a good job in supervising the quality of refined oil products, promote the healthy, orderly and standardized development of the refined oil market, and resolutely safeguard the vital interests of
the people.
