(Lanka-e-News -19.Jan.2017, 1.45AM) The third dirty fuel shipment of Vitol, the notorious dirty fuel supplier, is just about to be unloaded to Kolonnawa Refinery Oil Complex of Petroleum Corporation.
Merely two weeks after the contentious acceptance of dirty aviation fuel shipment of Vitol on tanker, “Nave Luminosity”, soon after an underhand deal between Vitol and the Petroleum Minister, another tanker has come inside Port of Colombo yesterday (17), with a full load dirty Diesel for Ceylon Petroleum Corporation.
To give eyewash to the unassuming public, Ceypetco accepted the dirty Aviation Fuel cargo from Vitol two weeks ago, on a price discount, risking precious lives of thousands of air passengers.
When the diesel samples were tested last night by the scientists of Ceylon Petroleum Refinery laboratory at Kolonnawa Refinery Storage Complex, it was revealed that the samples were full of dirt, rust and muck.
It is reported that the Minister is very jubilant on getting to know of this. In fact, Vitol is busy, getting ready to oil the Minister’s palm with another few millions for getting the easy “ministerial nod” to unload the dirty diesel cargo to CPC Storage Tanks in Kolonnawa Storage Complex.
Currently the tanker, “Swarna Kalash” with the full load of dirty diesel is at the Oil Jetty of Colombo Port.
This time too, Ceypetco will accept this dirty diesel cargo after giving the public the usual “discount” eyewash and the usual underhand deal behind the curtain.
Lanka E-News firmly believes that it is the duty of the Media to educate the public that, what you pump into your vehicle is dirty diesel; in case Ceypetco is compelled to accept this cargo, despite Ceypetco’s claim that they received a “discount”.
A senior officer of Petroleum Corporation who wished to remain anonymous informs that there could be a multimillion fraud behind this repeated arrival of dirty fuel shipments to Petroleum Corporation from Vitol.
What Lanka E-News reported just two weeks ago - i.e. on 2nd Jan 2017 is reproduced below;
Danger.., dirty fuel again...! Dirty fuel supplier Vitol proves the LeN forecast..!!

This should be publicized globally so that foreigners will not fly with Shri Lankan air lines. Secondly IATA and other forieign agencies should be informed so that no foreign airlines will obtain fuel from Sri Lanka. This is the immediate step which should be taken to save the lives of innocent passengers.
