Petroleum Ministry: Claims of Sugarcane Juice Mixed with Petrol and Ethanol-related Engine Issues Are Misleading and Unsubstantiated

The Ministry of Transportation has emphasized that contemporary vehicles are designed with advanced features to prevent water from entering fuel tanks. This development is particularly important as moisture contamination can impact fuel quality and engine performance.

Modern automotive engineering includes sealed fuel systems and specialized fuel tank designs that mitigate the risk of water ingress, an issue that can arise from heavy rainfall or flooding. The ministry urges vehicle owners to ensure that their cars utilize such technologies, which are standard in many of today’s vehicles, to enhance reliability and efficiency.

Furthermore, the Ministry advises regular vehicle maintenance checks to ensure that all systems, including fuel tanks, are functioning properly, in order to prolong the lifespan of vehicles and maintain optimal performance.
