Fameye, a hiplife musician from Ghana, is pleased with the GHC25,000 compensation he received from the Fuel station that filled his car with mixed fuel.
The incident, which happened on March 15, 2023, had an impact on the Honda Pilot 2019 model’s engine.

In a string of tweets, “The Nothing I Get” singer vented his annoyance at the Fuel station for giving him fuel that was diluted with water.

When Fameye appeared on TV3 New Day on Tuesday morning, he described his experience.
He claimed that he had wished to fill up his car in order to be ready for a performance in Kumasi.
He continued to drive despite the car jerking after leaving the gas station until it came to a stop at a roundabout.
“So I had a show at Kumasi on the 12th of March so on Saturday, I had wanted to go and fill my tank so that at midnight, I move with my team because I drive everywhere.”
“So I realized like five minutes after I left [the filling station] it started jerking, but I don’t know too much about cars so I was wondering why. So I continued driving until the car stopped at a roundabout,” he told Roland Walker and Berla on the show.
It was later discovered that the fuel he purchased was diluted with water, which affected his car’s engine. Although his car has now been fixed, Fameye expressed his disappointment and sadness over the entire situation.

The fuel station involved in the incident has since compensated Fameye with GHC25,000 for the damages caused to his vehicle.
Fuel adulteration has become a widespread problem in Ghana, with reports of stations mixing fuel with water, kerosene, or other chemicals to increase their profit margins.
The National Petroleum Authority has cracked down on gas stations caught in the act in the past, but the problem is still growing.
These gas stations’ dishonest behavior endangers people’s lives and the environment in addition to harming cars.
