Reports From Drivers
Users on social media shared that their cars stalled or shook soon after they filled up at the station. Some said their mechanics found water in the fuel tank.
A few also claimed the station closed for a short time, but Petronas has not verified this.
No Official Statement Yet
Petronas has not released any statement about the issue.
Government agencies have also not confirmed any checks or fuel tests at the station.
Because of this, the number of affected vehicles and the cause of the breakdowns remain unclear.
Technical Possibility
Fuel can mix with water in rare situations. Leaks, condensation or maintenance problems may cause this.
When water enters the fuel system, a car may stall, lose power or fail to start.
What Drivers Should Do
Motorists who think they were affected should:
- Keep their fuel receipts
- Record workshop findings
- Report the issue to Petronas
- File a claim with the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia (TTPM) if needed
Awaiting Clarification
Drivers want Petronas to confirm whether an investigation is being carried out.
At this time, no official findings are available, and the claims remain unverified.
