QUALITY watchdogs in Hainan Province have sent gas samples for testing after complaints about cars stalling after using fuel from China's largest oil refiner.
Drivers queued outside a gas station owned by China Petroleum & Chemical Corp in Haikou City yesterday morning, demanding a compensation for the damage they said the fuel caused to their cars.
The drivers said they consulted their car dealers about the stalling problem, with one repairman blaming the fuel, saying he has fixed 23 vehicles with the same problem.
The new quality complaints came only weeks after Sinopec apologized for a quality lapse in its gasoline products that damaged thousands of cars in central China Henan Province.
But a statement issued by Sinopec last Friday denied any connection with the latest problems, saying gas products in Hainan was from same batch as fuel in Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, which have reported no faults.
An official with Sinopec's Hainan office said if the tests proved the company was at fault, the company would compensate for all the damages. He added it was unlikely because Sinopec's own tests detected no quality issues.
In Hong Kong in January, more than 6,000 taxis and mini buses suffered faults that included stalling after using Sinopec gasoline.
The company insisted that the Hong Kong case was not its fault but promised to launch an investigation. No results of this inquiry have emerged.
