Accra, Sept 12, GNA
– Radiance Petroleum Limited has denied the shutdown of its Petrol Filling
Station in Ho over suspected adulterated diesel by the National Petroleum
Authority (NPA).
The said station,
it stated, was operating their normal business – offering service to customers
and the general public.
A customer had
reported to the NPA of his suspicion of possible adulteration of diesel sold at
the filling station.
The engine of his
vehicle reportedly ceased working after he had gone there to fill-up.
Mr. Joseph Addae,
the General Manager, in a signed statement, said preliminary investigation done
onsite by the NPA team on the sampled product “passed the test”.
That
notwithstanding, the diesel tank and fueling dispenser, had been sealed
awaiting results of the confirmatory test from the Ghana Standards Authority
(GSA) laboratory in Accra.
“The company has
complied with the NPA as the Authority continues its investigation into this
isolated customer complaint at the station.”
It added that as
part their service to their customers, “the aggrieved customer was compensated
for the lost time and inconvenience suffered”.
