Launching the fuel quality and quantity awareness campaign at Shell petrol station, Lugogo, Ben Manyindo, the UNBS executive director, said water can easily slip into the tanks and cause fuel contamination.

“So far, water is the biggest challenge that leads to contamination. Most cases are areas with a lot of rainfall so it is the responsibility of the station owners to check for that. UNBS encourages the use of dipstick and water guide,” he said.

He also explained that there is a lot of water underground and any station is supposed to have a water guide, which detects water in the fuel, and this should be done on a regular basis.
