Petrol stretching: ‘Revenue aren’t doing enough about this at all’

‘Petrol stretching’ is on the rise in Ireland, with thousands of euros worth of damage being done to cars every week.

So far this year, Revenue has received 90 complaints about contaminated fuel, although a local community group contests this figure. They say the problem is far worse than this number suggests.

According to a Revenue spokesperson, the majority of complaints have been reported in the last three months and largely concern the Borders and Midlands West regions.
