Shell PH, Euro4 fuels by 2016

They have started the upgrade in Batangas Province. I wonder how long it takes to upgrade a 110000 BPD refinery.

Matagal pa. They might not even make it to the 2016 deadline.

Tabangao is a much older refinery than Petron's Limay refinery..

Caltex can release Euro 4 anytime - importer lang naman sila. It's just that they're very kuripot.

Unfortunately Shell will only be able to release Euro4 fuels by next year unlike Petron.

Im guessing Caltex/PTT will soon follow after Petrons Euro4 lead.

I wonder if ToyotaPH is testing the Petron Euro4 fuels on their GD engined test mules.

OT: if caltex is kuripot and their fuel is imported from SG/SIN, does that mean the fuel shipped to the Philippines is of low quality and the good quality fuel stays at is port of origin (SG/SIN)?

Not really. Caltex complies fully with what DOE requires. However, because of their decision not to spend on capex, I don't think they'll be on the forefront of launching Euro 4 fuels soon. But their current fuel is actually good, at least better than what Petron offers.
