New Gas Station Law Promises To Cause Significant Changes At Ipiranga, BR, Shell, And More

A new law is coming into effect at gas stations and promises to change the lives of Brazilian drivers. Giants like Ipiranga, BR, Shell, and more are under scrutiny due to this prohibition aimed at bringing more transparency and safety when refueling. See all the details below.

At the end of 2023, a new law was announced, and it is already creating buzz among drivers and gas station owners. The new gas station law aims to implement a drastic change: the mandatory use of transparent hoses at fuel pumps. And the major players in the sector, such as Ipiranga, BR, Shell, and more, will have to adapt.

New Gas Station Law

The idea behind this new gas station law is quite clear. According to Congressman Jeferson Rodrigues (Republicanos-GO), author of Bill 3325/23, the proposal seeks to allow consumers to clearly see the type and amount of fuel being pumped into their tanks. This aims to prevent fraud and ensure more honest and transparent service.

Measure Is Being Analyzed

And it doesn’t stop there. This measure is being analyzed by the committees on Mines and Energy, Consumer Protection, and Constitution, Justice and Citizenship. In other words, there’s still a way to go before it actually becomes law. But many consumers are already eager to see this new gas station law in action, believing that it will bring more confidence when refueling their vehicles.

Ipiranga, BR, Shell, and other stations will need to prepare for this possible change. Transparency at pumps could be a significant victory for consumers but also represents a logistical and financial challenge for the stations.

While the new gas station law is still under review, the discussion is already heating up. Drivers and consumers hope that if approved, this law will bring more safety and transparency during refueling. Major players like Ipiranga, BR, Shell, and others need to stay alert and prepare for this potential revolution in gas stations.

Primeiro, essa mangueira ainda não existe com aprovação do Inmetro, segundo, uma mangueira transparente não atesta a qualidade muito menos a quantidade vendida, e terceiro e mais importante qualquer gasto extra, será repassado para o consumidor, ou se vai cair aqui na balela da Janja de que as empresas absorverão os custos de tal existência?

Você consegue saber se o volume que está passando nessa mangueira é menor ou igual ao medido na bomba? Eu não. Aquele densimetro que algumas bombas tem já deixa pelo menos uma desconfiança menor e poderia ser obrigatório em todas. Teoricamente você vê o que está sendo colocado no tanque no momento do abastecimento mas nem isso garante a qualidade.

Já sei, eles inventarão uma mangueira que só ficará transparente se o combustível for bom, caso contrário fica preta mesmo…kkkk

Amigo aquele densímetro só diz que o álcool estando dentro dos parâmetros sugeridos pelo visor ou seja as faixas vermelhas abaixo do liquido estão dentro das especificações da anp em inpm.

O ideal seria estar visível a quantidade exata que foi adequada pelo cliente ! Tipo um reservatório com as medidas exata. isso nós daria uma confiabilidade

New Gas Station Law

Measure Is Being Analyzed

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Brazil, Norway, and the Netherlands aim to create the first green maritime corridor in the Atlantic, after routes emitted 4.7 million tons of CO₂e, and seek to transform ports, fuels, and trade between South America and Europe into a new global logistics race.

Russia wants to build new nuclear plants in Brazil and is negotiating an agreement with the Lula government to expand Rosatom’s presence in atomic energy projects, small reactors, and peaceful nuclear technology.

Microscopic fossils 1.7 billion years old found in rocks in Australia reveal complex cells living at the bottom of an ancient sea and may change what scientists know about the evolution of life on Earth.

Seen from space, an underwater volcano erupts in the Pacific, spewing smoke directly from the sea, spreading floating pumice, and may be creating a new island in a region so poorly mapped that scientists still do not know exactly which structure is erupting.

Researchers identify marks of Ice Age megafloods in the United States, a phenomenon that crossed Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, sculpted rolling hills like waves, and left giant scars that still challenge the landscape.
