Petrobras Distribuidora will hold in Sinop, Mato Grosso (MT), on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 03rd and 04th, another Quality Day, an action of the De Olho no Combustível Program (DOC), in ten stations of its flag.



The objective is to publicize the DOC brand and attest to the quality of the fuels sold at the stations certified by the program, in order to show the importance of combating the practice of adulteration. The operation will have the support of two Mobile Quality Laboratories (LMQs), conducted by trained chemical technicians.



On Tuesday, tests will be carried out at the following stations: Taruma, São Cristovão, Renascer, Caiçara and Pasolini & Pasolini. The following day (04/08), the DOC action will pass through the posts: PHJ, Pablo, Ferreira, Ropelli and Lozzi.



To combat adulteration of fuel in its network of service stations, Petrobras Distribuidora created, in 1996, the De Olho no Combustível Program. “Monitoring the quality of fuels at Petrobras stations certified by the program has allowed consumers to safely supply, minimizing the risk of buying adulterated fuel,” says Luiz Claudio Caseira Sanches, director of the Petrobras Distribuidora Service Station Network.
