Member of Commission VII DPR RI Mulyanto uploaded the results of the octane test on Vivo Fuel Oil (BBM), Revvo 89. In a tweet on his Twitter account, @pakmul63, he showed the test results on Pertalite and Revvo 89. "Tweps along with the final results of the measurements of the quality of Pertalite and Revvo-89. Including RON measurements and pulsar values. Please pay close attention to the data. Data analysis notes: 1. The Pb content still exists both in pertalite and Revvo. 2. RON Revvo 89 measurements, pretty good, even slightly above 90. 3. Other parameters tested, in general, fall into the standard. 4. From the data tested, no indications were found." he wrote on his Twitter account quoted Wednesday, November 2. The data also shows that in general, in this test there are no indications that Pertalite is wasteful or its acceleration is slow. Meanwhile, for further testing, it is necessary to do a performance test, but for this purpose, he continued, it is enough just to do a quality test. "It's quite interesting: RON Revvo-89 has a slightly better test result than Pertalite," he continued. Regarding the comparison of the octane of the two types of fuel, Pertamina Patra Niaga Corporate Secretary Irto Ginting said that there were no changes to the specifications of Pertalite and the circulating fuel were in accordance with the specified specifications. "It has been proven through direct checks by regulators that the results are all in accordance with the specifications set," he said briefly. Previously, the Director General of Oil and Gas, Tutuka Ariadji, explained that the government had asked LEMIGAS to conduct technical tests regarding the standards and quality of Pertalite in accordance with the Decree of the Director General (Kepdirjen) of Oil and Gas No. 0486.K/10/DJM.S/2017 concerning Standards and Quality (Specification) for BBM type 90 gasoline marketed in the country. As a result, Pertalite fuel has met the standards and quality (specification) of RON 90 gasoline, which is marketed domestically. "With this, there is no indication of off-spec quality restrictions. Everything is on-spec," said the Director General of Oil and Gas.
