Observer Online Report

The Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) has shut down four fuel dispensing units at three filling stations in Dhaka after detecting under-delivery of fuel to customers.

The irregularities were detected during separate drives conducted by BSTI in different parts of the capital on Wednesday (November 11), when the agency found that the stations were supplying less fuel than the prescribed quantity.

During the drive, BSTI inspected three dispensing units at Malibagh Auto Service and found that one diesel unit was delivering less fuel than the required amount.

At A Haque and Company in Tikatuli, one of the three inspected units was found to be under-delivering octane.

Meanwhile, inspectors examined five dispensing units at Kiko Petroleum and LPG Filling Station in Khilgaon and detected under-delivery in two octane units.

The four faulty dispensing units were subsequently shut down by the regulatory agency.

The operation was led by BSTI Deputy Director (Metrology) Md Lutfor Rahman. Assistant Director (Metrology) Mohammad Liaquat Hossain and Examiner (Chemistry, Metrology) Milon Hossain also took part in the drive.

BSTI said its monitoring and surveillance activities would continue to prevent fuel measurement fraud and practices detrimental to consumer interests.

The agency also said it regularly inspects and monitors measurement equipment at filling stations to ensure customers receive fuel in the correct quantities.
