CPC filling stations ready to pump fuel from July 21 using QR Code

News

Fuel pumping at 1236 Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) fuel filling stations countrywide will begin on Thursday July 21 using the new app with QR code and the last number on the vehicle number plates, a high ranking CPC official said.

Over 1 million motorists have already registered with the new system which will take several days for the proper operation of the system in a streamlined manner, he revealed.

The pump attendants at the CPC filling stations countrywide are being provided training to operate this QR code from the CPC officials. Measures will be taken to provide smart phones to filling stations, he said adding that the present problem is the shortage in the market.

Secretary of the Fuel Distributors Association Shelton Fernando said that at present smart phones are banned at petrol sheds and there was a danger in searching QR codes using smart phones by pump attendants near the fuel pumps.

The implementation of this system hurriedly will create problems for pump attendants he pointed out.

Fuel Station Owners' Association (FSOA) Chairman Kumara Rajapaksa urged the public not to wait in queues as arrangements have been made to supply fuel in accordance with the newly introduced ration system. (Bandula)
