The verdict of the first case of illegal operation of refined oil products in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province was announced

Recently, the Wenshan Prefecture Intermediate People's Court in Yunnan Province heard the case of defendant Yang illegally operating refined oil products, sentenced him to six months in prison, suspended for one year, and confiscated more than 15,000 liters of oil and four tank trucks
.

In this case, the defendant knew that he was illegally dealing in refined oil, but still carried out covert sales and mobile sales of oil tankers in order to obtain profits, and his behavior had disrupted the order of the refined oil market and infringed the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and should be subject to criminal punishment
according to law.
This is the first case in Wenshan Prefecture to be sentenced to prison for illegal operation of refined oil, and it is also the first refined oil case in Yunnan Province after the abolition of the "Measures for the Administration of Refined Oil Products" for illegal operation, which further promotes the legal order of the province's refined oil market, effectively deters lawbreakers, and protects the legitimate rights and interests
of consumers.

Since the beginning of this year, in the province's special rectification action for the refined oil industry, a large number of tank trucks and illegally modified cars have been found and dealt with, and in the form of "flowing", through simple fuel dispensers to sell motor vehicles to fill refined oil
.
It is understood that the Ministry of Commerce has never issued a refined oil retail license qualification to "mobile fuel trucks", and although the "Measures for the Administration of Refined Oil Products" were abolished in 2020, the Administrative Licensing Law of the People's Republic of China still includes the qualification approval setting for refined oil wholesale, warehousing and retail operation into the administrative license catalog, and "mobile fuel trucks" are clearly illegal operations
.

According to the relevant personnel of the safety and quality management department of Sinopec Yunnan Petroleum Branch, this type of "mobile fuel truck" has great safety risks, lacks formal and effective safety facilities, and cannot be effectively dealt with if an accident occurs, which is very easy to cause fire and explosion accidents and become a "time bomb"
flowing on the road 。 At the same time, this kind of "mobile fuel truck" is the sale of non-standard oil, the quality of the oil is worrying, will make the engine produce too much carbon deposits, can seriously affect the combustion effect and service life of the engine, non-standard oil sulfur, benzene and other content are seriously exceeded, the release of harmful gases is easy to cause damage to the consumer's body, further aggravate environmental pollution
