Vehicle registered in Singapore filled with RON 95 gasoline – Shell staff informed, promptly stopped the fuel pump
Another case of a Registered car in Singapore running on RON 95 . gasoline was captured in a video posted by SG Road Vigilante. During an incident at a Shell station in Johor on February 28, 2023, we could see passengers in a Honda Odyssey assisting the driver in refueling the MPV with subsidized fuel.
However, this was noticed by a Shell employee who quickly stopped the fuel pump. Soon after, the passenger was seen getting back into the car, then continued driving out of the station. Praise must be given to the vigilant Shell staff who prevented the illegal action.
According to regulations, foreign-registered vehicles can only run on unsubsidized RON 97 gasoline, not subsidized RON 95 gasoline. buy dieselForeign registered vehicles are limited to 20 liters per day at petrol stations within 25 km of the Malaysia-Singapore border gate.
If you’re thinking of mimicking the actions of a shell worker, don’t. While his duty is to stop the fuel pump, act as a watchman and press the emergency stop button may cause further delays for those wishing to refuel.
This is because certain stations may have different backup procedures and protocols, and it may even take a while to restart the fuel flow. Instead, face the driver and calmly inform them that foreign-registered cars are not allowed to fill with RON 95 gas.
