KATHMANDU: A number of gasoline stations have been found to be selling substandard diesel that could irreversibly damage automobile engines, said the Department of Commerce and Supplies Management (DoCSM).

According to the DoCSM, a cross-inspection carried out by a joint market monitoring team on Thursday found the quality of diesel supplied by Chakrapath Fuel Centre, Balaju and Newa Trade Concern, Dhalko to be below par.

Hari Narayan Belbase, director at the monitoring department of the DoCSM, said that milk coloured semi-solid substances were found in the fuel supplied by these pumps.

The department’s report showed that the engine of a vehicle was found to have been damaged permanently by using the substandard diesel. According to Belbase, they checked gasoline pumps due to growing complaints from consumers.
