“We put it forward, the car leaves, after 3 kilometers it became a bit … compressor”, describes the driver to SKAI.

More and more citizens fall victim to adulterated fuel in their vehicles, which causes serious damage to the car’s engine. Repair shops are filled with broken down cars and the cost of the damage amounts to hundreds of euros.

“With adulterated fuel there is a panic. “Too many customers have complained to me and come here from adulterated petrol.” the car mechanic told SKAI Spyros Logaras.

A car driver describes his own experience: “We put it forward, the car leaves, after 3 kilometers it became a little … compressor”.

The car mechanic Aris Georgalis explained to SKAI television that the first time adulterated gasoline is put into the car, symptoms may appear that will weaken as the car moves. The second time, however, it may break completely.

The usual cost for a damage caused to the car by adulterated fuel can exceed 500 euros, explains car mechanic Spyros Logaras.

Inspections at gas stations are sweeping, while there are not a few cases where the inspectors sealed gas stations for this reason.
