Petroleum Minister Susil Premjayantha today reassured that there would not be a fuel price hike for the time being and he added the alleged contamination of fuel was a result of mixing fuel with rain water residue of fuel tanks at the filling stations

The Minister said this at a cabinet press briefing today. (SAJ)

How come suddenly rain water get mixed in Tanks in many stations. Also there were no rain for sometime. Possibly Fuel may have been imported with 50% rain water. That 50% fuel would have converted to Dollars.

Within another 2 - 3 weeks definitely a fuel hike - fuel stations order extra stocks to get the maximum benefit.
