Zuhair explained on Sunday that the institute
had taken action against six fuel stations due to their violations of the
Jordanian technical standards for petroleum derivatives. This led to the
closure of all fuel pumps that were tampered with at these stations, Al-Mamlaka
TV reported.
Additionally, another station received a
warning and was subsequently referred to the Public Prosecutor because of
irregularities in the quantities handled by its staff. She pointed out that the
referral of these stations to the prosecutor's office is intended for the
initiation of legal proceedings against them, in accordance with the Standards
and
Metrology Law No. "22" of 2000 and its subsequent amendments.
She emphasized that the inspection tours of
fuel stations would continue, involving the collection and examination of
samples. These inspections have revealed instances of manipulation affecting
the quality of fuel, as well as non-compliance with the technical standards.
She urged the public to report any suspicions
related to fuel meter tampering or issues with fuel quality through the
institute's unified complaints hotline at (065301243), the institute's social
media pages, the complaints section on the institute's website, the
"Bekhdemtakum" application, and the "Sanad Jo" platform at
(065008080).
