Tension gripped a fuel filling station near Commissioner’s Colony here on Thursday after some customers found petrol diluted with water. Nearly 50 customers, who had refuelled their vehicles at Dwari Fuels, a unit of Hindustan Petroleum, gathered at the filling station demanding their money back. Many customers claimed that their two-wheelers stopped after moving a short distance from the filling station after refuelling. They gathered at the petrol pump demanding repair charges from the owner.
Sayadulla Khan, a customer, said he filled petrol worth `150 in his motorcycle at the petrol pump and was going towards Bargarh in the morning when his bike stopped after covering a short distance. A check-up at a repairing shop revealed that the petrol was diluted with water, he said. Another customer, Gopal Sen, also had the same problem.
