“CPI supports the government’s initiative to curb fuel smuggling through this fuel marking program. We hope that  this program will level the playing field among the industry participants and ensure that all oil companies pay the correct taxes and help build the nation,” CPI Country Chairman Louie Zhang said.

Following the recent completion of the implementing rules and regulations for the FMP, gasoline, diesel and kerosene will be tested for compliance with the prescribed dilution level, whether at the refinery, terminal or retail sites.
