Oil prices have been the focus of attention this year. In the oil market where the price of oil has risen steadily, the sales market for refined oil products has gradually appeared chaotic. In particular, the diesel sales market, the reporter recently unannounced lately unannounced visits to various sections of Yantian and found that the private sale of diesel fuel outside the formal channels has been flooding.

Although they are all privately-selling diesel fuel, they have a variety of forms of expression. Some of them only take some plastic drums to stay on the side of the road; others open a cargo car with fuel tanks or drums to meet the flow requirements. Refueling; and some are fixed in the parking lot or a secluded corner, oil storage tanks, fuel for the vehicles come.

In this regard, drivers and logistics companies have met with rejection. The welcoming person thinks that the regular oil station diesel sells for $6.02 a litre. The oil is 5 liters per litre. It is cheap and the quantity is enough, reducing the transportation cost; It is believed that on the one hand, the quality of the oil is difficult to guarantee. On the other hand, there are serious security risks. Some roadside refuelling stations stop at the container trucks and make some container truck drivers miserable. The proliferation of private oil, on the one hand, reflects the demand orientation of the market, but it also reflects the serious absence of supervision of relevant departments. How to regulate the management of refined oil sales market is a problem that needs to be solved.

Complaints

Frequently stopped, unbearable

“We open container trucks to go over there every day. At night, they will be stopped by them and ask us if we want to sell or sell diesel oil. We often have to get entangled with them for a long time to leave.” A container truck driver operating freight logistics near Yantian Port. The reporter complained that due to the frequent occurrence of this situation in the recent past, it has affected their normal work.

He said that there is no objection to the sale of oil by those people, but they should not be allowed to see the car on the road. On the one hand, they are delaying their time. On the other hand, there are great security risks. He said that he was often just kidnapped from this road, and someone else stopped his car on the other road. Stop and go, can not be disturbed. He thinks this is "strong buying and selling."

The owner of a logistics company also called the newspaper, saying that the dozens of container trucks under his jurisdiction had recently encountered this situation. On the one hand, adding these oils did not have formal bills. He had asked the drivers to pay for themselves; on the other hand, The quality of the oil is difficult to guarantee. He fears that it will affect the life of the car.

The driver also complained to him. Sometimes it would not be okay to not buy their oil because there are too many points for private sale of diesel.

“The hidden danger is very big.” He said that diesel oil is inherently dangerous and flammable. However, these privately-sold diesel points have neither passed fire inspections nor formalized licenses. Once an accident occurs, the consequences are unthinkable. “Before there was a control, but after two days of strict management, these oil sales came out again.” He said that once his driver was stopped, he immediately reported to the police. After the arrival of the traffic police, the seller of diesel was driven off. But when the next pass, those people still sell there.

"There is no way to cure it?" he asked.

Unannounced visits

Yantian was chaotic in late nights

According to the situation reflected by some drivers and enterprises, in the area around Yantian, the situation of private sale of diesel started to be prominent at about 10:00. At 10 o'clock on the night of July 10, the reporter drove to Yantian to investigate the situation.

Roadside diesel exhaust

Entering Yantian District, from the north hill road into the Hongan Third Street, you can see sporadic oil sales points, next to several container trucks waiting to refuel. Under the guidance of container truck drivers, the reporter turned from Hoi An Street to Hokkaido and found more roadside private diesel points.

The road is dimly lit. With the lights, the reporter saw that every few tens of meters there are plastic drums placed on the roadside, most of which are parked with container trucks, or trailers that have been unloaded. Some are refueling, some are waiting for passengers.

These refueling points are extremely simple. The diesel buckets of different sizes are placed on the side of the road. Two or three people take a few stools and sit next to it. After the car arrives, the bucket is filled with oil. With this measuring device, there is no shortage. Less weight two.

Truck filled with oil barrels

Then the reporter drove back to Hongan Third Street and turned right into Mingzhu Avenue. At the corner, a medium-sized cargo car stopped at the intersection. A man lay on the ground and stood next to a large, small, and two plastic barrels of oil. With the lights, you can see more oil barrels and fueling equipment in the cargo room.

The reporter's car stayed a bit longer, and the laid-back man was a little vigilant and waited. The reporter drove away.

Tyre line door refueling

Along the Mingzhu Avenue, not far from the west, there is a “tire line” on the side of the road. A refueling vehicle is suddenly stopped at the doorway, that is, there is a square fuel tank in the ordinary cargo box. The fuel tank is directly connected to an oil pipeline and oil gun.

Next to a container truck fueling, after filling, the reporter asked the driver, why not go to the regular gas station. The driver replied: "I'm also the first time to add. It's cheaper here. 5 bucks a liter. Add 120 liter. Use it first. Don't know how the oil works."

Immediately afterwards, the reporter approached the owner of the tire line as a logistics company employee and expressed his wish to long-term refueling here. The boss said, "Yes, how much to add to you." He said that the quality of his oil can be guaranteed, but also enough, there are metering equipment.

When asked about the oil's arrival, he said that the oil here was shipped from the Daya Bay Depot and there was no difference with the national standard oil at the gas station. When the reporter asked why the price could be lowered to 5 yuan a liter, he said, "You don't need to control this."

Parking tanks for oil tanks

Afterwards, the reporter drove under the guidance of a driver and transferred from Hokkaido to Yong'an North. At about 200 meters to the south of the two-way intersection, there was a diagonally up path on the right side of the road. From there, it was found to be a Empty parking lot. A few people at the door are playing cards.

In the parking lot, with the help of the headlights, it can be clearly seen that there are several huge storage tanks. The scale is bigger than the previous few refueling points. A container truck is refueling. After the fuel is added, the driver and the seller pay the bills.

Nanshan mobile refueling can be completed monthly

More than Yantian, there are also some “mobile stations” in Shekou, Nanshan. Citizens report that these non-regular gas stations are often based on a tanker truck, and wherever they are needed, they will drive it.

The reporter rushed to Shekou and found an unnamed parking lot in an extremely remote place near Mawan Harbor. Next to the parking lot, a container truck was lining up for fuel and two staff wearing yellow overalls were busy.

The reporter looked up and saw the gas station's simple housing, only to accommodate the next tanker and a set of tables and chairs, the front of the house is a tanker, is constantly feeding diesel into the tanker. The reporter consulted a driver who had just added oil. The driver said that the gas station had been established for more than a year. The petrol station staff could provide invoices, and they could also handle monthly closing procedures.

A staff member told reporters that their refueling points belonged to “mobile gas stations”, similar to the petrol stations set up by petrochemical companies at various bus stops, mainly to facilitate the refueling of container trucks in the vicinity. "We only sell diesel here. The price of oil is cheaper than outside. We have contracts with several companies in the vicinity that are dedicated to doing business with big customers." The week-long supervisor said that there are seven or eight employees working in shifts, and the oil at the petrol station is there. Both are drawn from nearby oil depots.

â–  Several crimes of private sale of oil

Security is the most worrying

The unannounced visits made during the past few days have caused the reporter to be shocked. Especially around Yantian Port, privately-selling diesel fuel has become the norm here, and even exceeds the density of regular gas stations. People in the surrounding area are also not surprised to let it go. Some businesses and drivers who are not inconsistent with this have even become their "fixed customers."

Among the citizens and drivers complaining to this newspaper, the most frequently reported is the resulting security risks.

First of all, it is the small-scale oil dealers on the roadside that see the container trucks stop and make the traffic extremely unsafe. A driver said, "It's okay for them to stop us. The key is that we stop and we're all hanging." He said that these refueling points often have no guns, and when they get plastic drums, they will leak oil. If some drivers smoke while driving, accidentally throwing a cigarette out, they immediately ignite all diesel.

Secondly, large privately-sold diesel points have accumulated a lot of diesel fuel, but they are extremely irregular in terms of management deposits and lack the necessary security measures. The owner of a logistics company said that at present, these large oil-selling sites are built on the basis of some parking lots, but the surrounding residential areas are not too small. And not far from selling oil, once a blast, it may lead to serial explosions. As a boss, he also worried that the quality of the oil would not be closed. This would cause the vehicle itself to generate hidden dangers and pose a danger to the driver.

“Of course we want to manage, but this matter is not our responsibility.” The head of Meisha Gas Station, a subsidiary of a regular petrochemical company in Yantian District, said that they also understand the situation and are “very angry”. He simply cited the issue of these private diesel points:

First, security risks are the most prominent. Regular gas stations have undergone rigorous fire inspections and have a system of prevention. Second, in business, private sales tax evasion and taxation have caused great losses to the country. He said that when they sell oil, they have to pay a national tax of at least 17% of profits, but private selling points do not have this burden, so they can be sold at a low price and have a competitive advantage. Finally, the quality of the oil is mostly problematic. "Without supervision, what kind of oil they can all go to is added to Riga," he said. On the one hand, it will cause damage to the vehicle. On the other hand, the regular gas station guarantees compliance with environmental standards.

â–  Asking

Where does the private oil come from?

There are many opinions about the source of privately-sold diesel. The question that people are most concerned about is why they are cheaper than gas stations. Some drivers call them smuggling oil and have no tariffs. Therefore, they have price advantages; others claim to have bought them from regular oil depots simply because they do not have to pay taxes. , so the price is cheap; others say that they used some of the oil of a small refinery, or add some bio-oil, the quality is poor. The most creative argument is that they will buy at low prices from the drivers of some public companies and then sell them at high prices. Of course, this "high price" will not be higher than the market price.

The person in charge of the Meisha gas station said that in fact all kinds of arguments are all reasonable, and these people will not limit the source of the oil. Wherever they come from, they will purchase goods from where they come from. Occasionally, there are large private selling points that focus on quality and purchase from the depot. However, he said that although prices come from the oil depot, prices will be low, but not too much.

He said that the price of diesel oil in the regular oil station is now $6.02 a liter. The difference in the purchase price from the oil depot is less than 0.5 yuan. They now only have a difference of three or four cents. 17% of this spread is to be paid to the state tax. And if the private selling point purchases from the oil depot, it will not be lower than the price of 5.5 yuan a liter, but the cost of paying taxes is reduced.

"Selling 5 yuan is certainly not a cargo from the oil depot," he said affirmatively.

The reporter contacted several companies in the Daya Bay Depot. They all said that they would not take delivery and they would only provide it to formal enterprises. A staff member of PetroChina Mawan Oil Port stated that the company is only responsible for the storage of China National Petroleum. All the tankers can buy oil from CNPC. They have heard that PetroChina has a gas station in the bus station, but it has not. I heard there is a mobile gas station. The reporter called the Shenzhen branch of PetroChina and learned that the staff said that PetroChina’s gas stations had a clear logo and there was no “mobile gas station” business at the moment.

Who should manage this matter?

Is the proliferation of privately-selling diesel fuel a result of market demand or the result of weak supervision? A logistics owner stated that he has reflected on private sale of diesel for many times and that government departments are not ignoring it. Weary. A driver who often goes to these private diesel fuel points said that the market has definitely played a big role. Domestic oil prices continue to rise, and the cost of doing logistics and transportation industry increases. However, freight rates have not been improved, and profit margins are getting smaller and smaller. He believes that many drivers who went to sell private diesel fuel have the same ideas as him.

The person in charge of the Meisha gas station, who is a regular gas station, said that the private sale of oil has seriously undermined the fair market competition. As for whoever should be responsible for the relevant departments, he smiled and said, “Who said that you should manage it? Roads, urban management, and traffic police are all under the control; unlicensed operations, industrial and commercial management; safety hazards, safety supervision, fire control departments should also be in charge. But I do not know in the end who is in charge."
