Convener of the defunct OurMumuDonDo advocacy group, Charles
Oputa aka Charly Boy on Thursday highlighted reasons why the Premium Motor
Spirit also known as fuel produced by Dangote’s refinery is pure white in
colour.
Charly Boy explained that the fuel from Dangote’s refinery
was refined from ethanol, making it efficient for engines.
He disclosed that fuel from Ethanol has a good amount of
oxygen which lessens the amount of carbonation in engines.
According to the Maverick entertainer, fuel refined from
Ethanol reduces air pollution which comes as Carbon dioxide.
In a post titled: “Why Dangote fuel is white,” Charly Boy
wrote: “Reason why the PMS is pure like water. Petrol has different colors,
when it’s Red that means Octane was added.
“When it’s slightly Green then Octane is slightly very much.
When is Yellow it means it has no lead in it. That means it’s unleaded. But
when it’s clear as water as seen in the video then you should know that ethanol
was used. What ethanol does is that it improves engine efficiency and power.
“Because ethanol has a good amount of oxygen it lessens the
amount of carbonation in engines thereby reducing air pollution which comes as
Carbon dioxide. So this is the best form of Petrol. Congratulations Dangote.”
Yesterday, the founder of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote
disclosed that the refinery was ready to commence production of fuel..
Displaying a sample of the fuel from the refinery, Dangote
said President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Executive Council, FEC, would decide
the price tag for petroleum products from the refinery.
