The ANP made interdictions in nine vehicular natural gas (NGV) nozzles at seven stations in Rio de Janeiro (two stations had two interdicted nozzles). In all, 167 posts were audited, between August 7 and 11.

The stations that had interdicted nozzles were offering NGV above the maximum pressure set forth in ANP Resolution No. 41/2013, which is 220 bar.

Interdictions occurred in the neighborhoods of Curicica, São Cristóvão, Praça da Bandeira, Bonsucesso and Jacarepaguá.

The ANP plans its surveillance actions based on intelligence vectors, highlighting denunciations received by the Consumer Relations Center (CRC), information passed on by other public agencies and by the intelligence area of the Agency itself.

The ANP has an intense monitoring agenda and in 2017 is expanding intelligence work in repressive and communication / education action with a view to further improving practices in the fuel market.

Complaints about illegal trade or other irregularities in the fuel market can be made through the ANC's Consumer Relations Center (CRC) on 0800 970 0267.
