Petrolimex and the Military Petroleum Co. (Mipeco) admitted that the poor quality petrol that recently caused massive vehicle breakdowns in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, was imported from Singapore-based Glencore, local media reported. About 200 cubic meters of knowledge_base gasoline was distributed to Petrolimex filling stations in Ho Chi Minh City from August 21-24. “Petrolimex is contacting the supplier to clarify the high content of acetone,” said an official from Petrolimex, which has more than 60% market share of the Vietnamese petroleum market.
