PETRONAS Dagangan Bhd will compensate 20 customers whose vehicles had stalled shortly after fuelling up at its station in Solaris Besraya this morning.

The national oil company apologised for the incident, which it blamed on “product mishandling” at the station.

“We are already in contact with the affected customers and will take the necessary measures to compensate them accordingly,” said Petronas in a statement.

The 20 drivers have said that diesel instead of petrol had been pumped into their vehicles’ tanks at the station.

Social media is abuzz with video and audio clips warning people to avoid the petrol station.

The video clips showed cars stalled by the road side, shortly after fuelling up at the station.

Petronas said the station was temporarily closed pending investigations . 

“Our initial assessment indicates that this is due to product mishandling that happened only at this particular station.

“We assure that other Petronas stations are not affected. We take full responsibility for this serious matter and we apologise once again,” said Petronas. – December 28, 2018.
