Fuel sector regulator OfReg has confirmed via its own and independent laboratory tests that petrol and diesel at the BarCam Esso gas station contains no contaminants and meets international standards.
OfReg investigated the allegations of sub-standard fuel, which were made by a member of the public on social media in June.
On Monday, 10 Oct., the regulator stated in a press release that an accredited laboratory in Puerto Rico had tested samples from the gas station on the East-West Arterial and from the Jackson Point fuel terminal, and had confirmed OfReg’s initial findings that the fuel was “well within” globally acceptable Octane Rating levels.
The detailed results can be seen here.
In the release, the regulator stated, “OfReg takes the matter of fuel quality seriously and continues to conduct periodic tests at fuel facilities to ensure the quality of fuels products imported and distributed in the Cayman Islands is of the required standard.”
It urged members of the public to report any concerns they have on the quality of fuel they have purchased, by first submitting a complaint to the gas station before making a formal complaint to OfReg by email at [email protected] or by calling 946-4282.
