Petrol pump owners protest over E20 petrol distribution, demand oil companies take responsibility

Petrol pump owners in Kottayam stated that the market introduction of 20 percent ethanol mixed petrol has caused difficulties. They noted that the ethanol-mixed petrol evaporates faster than regular petrol, leading to losses in underground tanks. The owners demanded that oil companies address the losses due to ethanol evaporation and provide facilities to sell regular and E20 fuels separately.
