Makhachkala drivers complained about the quality of fuel at local gas stations.

One of the Makhachkala drivers filmed dirty gasoline that he filled at a local gas station and published this video on social media. Other local motorists, commenting on this video, reported similar problems with fuel at local gas stations and complained about a decrease in vehicle power and clogged injectors.

One of the drivers filmed the gasoline he purchased at a gas station in Makhachkala, complaining about its quality. According to the man, after refueling, he initially assumed that the problem was with the fuel pump, but later linked it to the quality of the fuel. In the video, the man is sitting next to the car with an open door. In front of him are white buckets with dark liquid, which the author of the video calls gasoline.

"This is not gasoline, it doesn't even look like diesel," said the driver in the video, which was published on October 22 by the Instagram* public chpdagestana.

This video in the Instagram* public "chpdagestana," which has about 68.4 thousand followers, had 182 likes and 22 comments by 12:40 MSK on October 25.

Other local motorists also complained about the quality of fuel at local gas stations. "In Derbent and in the districts, everyone has gasoline like tea," wrote ali__gasanov_04.

"Such a situation with the 'Gazelle,' refueled [...], changed the injectors twice, and after a couple of weeks it clogs again," reported darferz.

"I recently bought a car in Moscow, a 'Grant' with an automatic transmission. The car came with gasoline, which I was, of course, happy about. I drove on this gasoline for a week, it just didn't run out, and the power was completely different. But it eventually ran out, and I refueled at one of the well-known gas stations, which, as they say, have real gasoline, without mixing and so on. The power disappeared, and the gasoline ran out very quickly," said climatelife_dag.

Other commentators criticized the fuel sellers, accusing them of deceiving customers. At the same time, one user suggested that the gas station administration might have received low-quality fuel from suppliers. "I feel sorry for the people for whom it doesn't matter how they earn. You will lose everything else with this money, why are you doing this?" wrote fatiamebel_07.

"What are they like, why do they deceive people?" exclaimed minagasanova81.

"Brother, I in no way justify them, but there is another side to this. They could also have received this gasoline, meaning they could have been deceived too. They don't see what is being pumped into their tanks; they don't produce this gasoline themselves. Is there such a scenario?" suggested brusuillims.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that Dagestani motorists had previously complained not only about the high cost of fuel but also about its quality. Thus, on August 2, residents of the republic reported problems with engine performance after refueling at local gas stations. One participant in the discussion mentioned that after buying gasoline, the car began to misfire and stall, and error messages appeared on the dashboard. Other users noted that fuel purchased outside Dagestan provides better power and greater mileage.
