Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has refuted viral social media claims suggesting that E20 petrol attracts ants, stating there is no scientific evidence to support the assertion.
A viral video circulating on social media, which appeared to show ants near a car's fuel filler cap, has led to concerns regarding E20 petrol. The video implied a connection between the fuel and insect attraction.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a leading fuel retailer, has officially addressed and dismissed these circulating claims. The company clarified that fuel-grade ethanol, a component of E20 petrol, does not contain residual sugars that could attract insects.
Furthermore, BPCL stated that insect-repelling denaturants are added to the fuel. The corporation emphasized that there is no scientific basis to link E20 fuel with attracting ants, labeling the viral claims as misleading.
