Al-Sa'ided: Actions against kerosene rulebreakers
Hanar Al-Sa'idat, President of the Syndicate of Fuel Station Owners and Gas Distribution Shops, confirmed that the demand for kerosene in Jordan increased during the summer season to approximately seven times the usual winter levels. He warned against using kerosene as an alternative to diesel in vehicles, as it causes damage to their engines and affects the stock of the subsidized material designated for heating. He clarified that Jordan's average annual kerosene consumption is about 200 million liters, and the surge in demand exceeds the capacity of supply companies, thus putting the stock at risk. Al-Sa'idat emphasized that the circular issued prohibits filling diesel-powered vehicles with kerosene, and violators will face legal actions and possibly the closure of their stations. He also noted that the rising prices of diesel have led to higher transportation costs and increased prices of essential goods. There are ongoing consultations with relevant authorities to expand the use of gas-powered vehicles as an alternative to alleviate costs. He urged drivers and stations to adhere to the instructions to ensure that the subsidized kerosene reaches its eligible recipients and to preserve the national stock.
