"This is known after complaints accompanied by evidence of a sample of fuel contaminated with water from consumers after filling Pertalite type fuel," said Eko when contacted by VOI, Tuesday, March 26.

Eko said the gas station was responsible for repairing vehicle damage and replacing consumer vehicle fuel with Pertamax caused by the incident.

"Currently, gas stations have stopped distribution operations and checked all tanks at gas stations," continued Eko.
