Mix of diesel and bio diesel sold at petrol stations
GRTU says petrol stations’ responsibility is to buy and sell fuel as received from the two diesel suppliers.
New signs put up by the Malta Resources Authority at petrol stations revealed that all diesel being sold to motorists includes a 7% mix of bio diesel.
On behalf of petrol stations owners, the GRTU said the petrol stations were "in no way responsible" of the mixed fuels sold to them. "They are in no way responsible of the mixed products or for any repercussions which the vehicles' engines might endure," the GRTU said.
It insisted the petrol stations' sole responsibility is to buy and sell the diesel as received from either of the two suppliers who supply petrol stations with diesel.

All I have on this issue is ,as usual in Malta,are comments from armchair mechanics, mis-informed press, shirking of responsibility of managing authorities and on and on...that is no real responsibility by anyone.Where are all the engineers, chemists, that are produced by university???????

The seller cannot shirk his responsibility GRTU. The seller must make sure that he sells the right product which in this case it is not because diesel is being treated li wine if you get the meaning. In other words Christened with other compounds without it being stated to customers.
