    "The oil that had just been brought back from the oil depot the day before was found the next day that the gasoline had turned into a can of 'sewage
    '.
    " Recently, Mr.
    Liu of Heilongjiang reported to reporters that his own gas station extracted 20 tons of ethanol gasoline from the refined oil depot of Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch of China National Petroleum Co.
    , Ltd.
    in August, and after refueling the customer the next day, two vehicles failed, and after inspection, it was found that the oil was unqualified products, "I lost nearly 200,000 yuan, but no one has given me an explanation"
    .

    In this regard, the staff of the Heilongjiang sales branch of PetroChina said that the current situation has been reported, but there is no solution
    .
    A manager at the Daqing refining and chemical branch said it needed to investigate
    whether gasoline storage tanks were contaminated.

    According to Mr.
    Liu, who runs a gas station, on August 1, he spent 185,000 yuan to buy 20 tons of ethanol gasoline from the Harbin branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Petroleum Co.
    , Ltd.
    , and picked up the goods
    from the refined oil depot of PetroChina's Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch on the same day.

    "We sold two parts of oil the next day after picking up the goods, but the two cars broke down after driving a few hundred meters after refueling, causing the vehicles to stall
    .
    " Mr.
    Liu said that the owner questioned that there was a problem with gasoline, and the gas station had to compensate the two owners for a total of more than 8,000 yuan in economic losses
    .

    In order to find out the cause, on August 5, Mr.
    Liu took a gasoline sample and sent it to a gas station for testing, and the results showed that many indicators in the gasoline sample exceeded the standard
    .
    The gasoline was then sealed and not sold again, and feedback was given to the Harbin branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Petroleum Co.

    , Ltd.

    "The branch reported to the provincial company, and the provincial company arranged for the Heilongjiang Suihua Sales Branch of China National Petroleum Corporation to dock this matter
    .
    " On August 13, the staff of Suihua Sales Branch sampled the problem oil reported by Mr.
    Liu and sent it to the Heilongjiang Provincial Institute of Quality Supervision and Testing for testing, and the report issued by the institute showed that the oil was an unqualified product, of which the moisture content of the product reached 25.
    2% (technical requirements are ≤0.
    2%), the density was 850 (technical requirements were 720-775), "both values seriously exceeded the standard"
    .

    Mr.
    Liu believes that after two tests, the 20 tons of gasoline he purchased obviously has quality problems, and he guesses that "these 20 tons of gasoline may not be real gasoline, but mixed with tank bottom water from the oil depot, usually the oil depot will have an appropriate height of 'bottom water' at the bottom of the tank where light fuel oil is stored, if due to poor management or negligence, the moisture, oily sewage, may be taken to the gas station with the raw materials"
    .

    Mr.
    Liu said that he immediately contacted the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch where the gasoline was picked up after the incident, but the Daqing Refining and Chemical Branch asked him to contact the Harbin Branch of PetroChina Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Petroleum Co.
    , Ltd
    .
    , the seller.

    On December 27, the reporter called the Heilongjiang Suihua sales branch in charge of handling the matter, and a manager surnamed Yang said: "He did not buy the oil from me, and the money was not given to us, you can go and ask the party
    .
    " ”

    On the same day, the staff of the Heilongjiang sales branch of China National Petroleum Co.
    , Ltd.
    said that the matter would be reported to the relevant departments, but they did not know
    about other circumstances.

    Subsequently, the reporter called Mr.
    Liu's Daqing refining and chemical branch to extract the oil, and for whether the oil was contaminated during storage, the company's manager surnamed Yu said that Mr.
    Liu's oil did have some problems, but the oil was not directly purchased from the company, but only proposed from the company's oil depot, "We have gone through the normal process to answer, but they do not accept it, and the 20 tons of gasoline have gone through multiple processes of transportation and unloading, and his gasoline storage tank is not polluted.
    Whether there is any other oil installed, we have to check again.
