Quality monitoring

While a fuel quality monitoring scheme exists in Indonesia, it mainly relies on quality checks at the refinery gate and is not enforced in the retail sector. The main purpose of inspections at retail stations is to verify the volume of fuel dispensed by the meter at the pump.

In addition, even though the Directorate General of Oil and Gas under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources leads the fuel quality monitoring and may check the quality of fuels at the pump from time to time, the results are often only available internally. In the event of fuel quality problems in vehicles, the results will be discussed with Pertamina and the conclusions will be announced to the public. However, no detailed results from quality tests would be accessible to the public.
