JERUSALEM – Israel’s Energy and Water Ministry has identified a number of gas stations across the country that are either employing sulfur in impermissibly large quantities or watering down their gasoline, the Jerusalem Post reports.

Currently, there are 11 stations not operating up to necessary standards, with 10 of those infusing more sulfur into their diesel fuel than is allowed by law. One site has been watering down its benzene 95-octane gas.

The stations have been ordered to stop selling the fuels in question and replace the existing inventory with proper supplies.

The Energy and Water Ministry said that in conjunction with laboratories approved by the country’s fuel commissioner, it has installed samplers at gas stations across the country and tests products regularly.

"Each station is sampled several times a year, and when the fuel product does not meet a standard, the station is required to stop selling the defective fuel and replace it with a product that meets the standards," the ministry said.
