Penang petrol station tanks cleared in water contamination probe

Officials from the state domestic trade and cost of living department conducted thorough checks of the facility's storage tanks, pumping systems and fuel quality, according to the state director. The inspections at the Batu Kawan station found no evidence of water contamination in any of the examined equipment or supplies. The probe was initiated following complaints or concerns raised about the petrol station's operations. Authorities did not disclose what initially triggered the investigation or whether any violations were identified in other areas during the inspection. The clearance comes as regulators continue to monitor fuel quality standards across petrol stations in the state to protect consumers from substandard products.
