Why Petrol From Dangote Refinery Is Colourless – Dangote Explains

Why petrol from Dangote refinery is colourless, unlike the orange colored petrol currently in circulation – Dangote explains.

Says the petrol is a good product, adding that it would protect engines from damage caused by the unclear petrol.

Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the billionaire president of Dangote Group, has explained why the first sample of Premium Motor Spirit (commonly known as petrol) from his refinery appears colourless, unlike the orange colored petrol currently in circulation which Nigerians are familiar with.

Speaking during a broadcast at his refinery, Dangote explained that the new petrol would protect engines from damage caused by the unclear petrol typically found in the market.

He said :

“This is the sample of the petrol. You see it as a different colour, but that is the real deal. You are now going to have a good and genuine product.”

“The quality here will match that of anywhere in the world… US, America, we will make sure that nobody will beat us in terms of quality”.

He also noted that the clearer petrol is more environmentally friendly as it could help reduce health issues associated with polluted petroleum products.

Speaking further, he also highlighted the advantages of the never seen before color of the ultra-low sulfur diesel from the Dangote refinery.

“I am sure Nigerians have not seen this colour of diesel before,” Dangote said, adding that “This is called Euro-5 diesel. It contains less than 10 parts per million (PPM) of sulphur. This will help vehicles, engines, and generators last longer.”
