Previously, Area Manager of Communication, Relations, and CSR for Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Central Java - DIY Taufiq Kurniawan immediately went down to the field.
As a result, his party claimed that there was no fuel at the Blora gas station that contained water or ethanol .
Taufiq explained that his team went directly to Blora because there were complaints on social media.
One of the gas stations that was checked was in Karangjati, Kota.
"So, we conducted a direct inspection with the Blora Regency Trade, Cooperatives, and SMEs Office (Dindagkop UKM). We conducted the inspection because we received complaints from consumers," he said.
His party checked in various ways, both manually and digitally.
The first test is to check for water or ethanol contamination.
"We conducted a manual test. We inserted a stick smeared with water paste. If it was contaminated with water, the color would change. The results showed no change," he explained.
Then, a digital test was performed using a device that can detect water content in fuel. The digital check also found no water or ethanol in the fuel at the Karangjati gas station.
"Both match . The digital and manual versions don't contain any water," he added. (Endah/ IST )
