UKRNAFTA has been ranked in the TOP-5 of the Institute of Consumer Expertise. Its experts checked compliance with state standards of diesel fuel at Ukrainian gas stations. As a result, diesel from UKRNAFTA turned out to be one of the highest quality on the market.
Sergiy Fedorenko, Commercial Director of UKRNAFTA, emphasizes that the company carefully monitors the supply of only high-quality fuel to the network.
“Before the diesel gets into our customer’s tank, it undergoes several laboratory tests: when the railcar or tanker arrives, when it is transferred to the fuel truck, and then directly at the filling station network. This is done by our laboratories as well as independent laboratories so that we can control the quality from several sides. This fully complies with DSTU and European standards,” he said in a commentary to the Yedynye Novosti TV marathon.
The TV spot reminds us that high-quality fuel is one of the main prerequisites for reliable and durable operation of your car. Because even one refueling, for example, with low-quality diesel, can lead to problems with the fuel system and engine. As a result, the car may face expensive repairs.
That’s why car owners choose only trusted gas station chains. And they, in turn, pay special attention to fuel quality control at their filling stations.
“So, of course, you need to look at the brand and the reputation of the filling station to be sure that there will be quality fuel. We carry gasoline from Poland and Germany, and diesel fuel from a huge number of supplier countries. Tankers from Canada, Sweden, Israel, and Greece bring diesel to various ports where we can import it,” added Sergiy Fedorenko.
