Petrol pump owners claim that ethanol’s hygroscopic nature or affinity towards water is leading to contamination of their E20 stock during monsoons and in coastal areas since the existing underground storage tanks were designed for conventional petrol, not higher ethanol blends. Three petrol pump owners shared their concerns over the roll out of E20 with 'The Hindu' speaking on condition of anonymity, as oil marketing companies have instructed them not to speak publicly on the issue.

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians.
Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:
The #E20 fuel cover-up is clearly a full-blown scam. Check out this coordinated stonewalling from the Govt and OMCs:
1️⃣ Ministry of Petroleum sat on the RTI for 2 months, then shuffled it away.
2️⃣ ARAI claims the actual testing data is a "confidential" state secret.
3️⃣ HPCL & BPCL shut down the RTI, hilariously claiming that asking for a physical report is "seeking an opinion."
4️⃣ IOCL just replied by pointing me to the generic NITI Aayog roadmap already in the public domain—completely dodging the actual test reports.
They are playing bureaucratic games because the truth is terrifying: SIAM's own official stance warns that putting E20 in incompatible vehicles isn't just about losing mileage - it is a massive safety risk.
There are no hidden success reports. The Ministry lied in their press release, the OMCs are complicit, and millions of Indian motorists are being forced to drive ticking time bombs on a ghost policy @HindustanPetroleum @BPCLimited@IndianOilcl@PetroleumMin@siamindia@arai_india@HardeepSPuri
Nitin Gadkari: — By putting 20% ethanol blended Petrol, has there been any car in the country that has faced issues? Just NAME ONE."
Business Today Survey: — One in two petrol vehicles sold before 2023 seeing mileage drop with E20
Dear @narendramodi ji,
If every Road had a Footpath, Many Could Walk Down to Work.
Can we in 100 days ensure that every Road in India has a Proper Wide Footpath for Pedestrians and not for Hawkers?

Is driving an EV in the rain for 30 mins a "Customer Fault"?
My barely 4-month-old @VinFastofficial@VinFastIN EV died completely on the highway after its very first exposure to rain. Now they’re refusing my warranty and blaming me. A total nightmare. #VinFast#EVIndia 1/6
A company with no prior experience of making ventilators was given a contract for 10,000 ventilators worth Rs 373 Cr under the PMCARES fund during COVID, found an investigation by Huffpost. Many hospitals complained that PMCARES ventilators were of poor quality, leading to hypoxia in patients.

@RobLMyers It was so perplexing seeing them go on and on about how a battle between Ferrari & Merc is coming, while the timing tower is showing the gap was increasing.
Anyone half awake could see it.

Hello @bryan_johnson, I have posted rational and logical questions regarding your BluePrint which I have gone through, and as clinical doctor and a clinical researcher found it to be a scam.
I know exactly what I am talking about and do. I am a Doctor of Medicine. You may check my clinical credentials here:
Scholar: https://t.co/I4YdhIfjC4
ResearchGate: https://t.co/lkRh55YnYH
You are not a clean guy as you claim to be, but a modern day snake-oil salesman and a medical science illiterate using "science-sounding" words, scamming people. Allow me to explain.
I am going to post a long one here, bear with me, because I think I need to spell out a lot of things here for you, because clearly you do not understand science, medicine or health and every gimmick of yours is a fraud, to sell BluePrint.
I asked you questions regarding the same as a response to your message (in my DM) asking me if I was angry. I responded saying I was not and I only needed clear evidence from your side to prove your products have actual clinical data and objective evidence for the claims you have made on your website, selling them at a high price.
Unlike your employees, I am not under any NDA with you that prevents me from posting messages in MY personal DM. By the way, your NDA with employees to mask your scams was recently reported by the New York Times. You can read it here in case you missed it:

In case you have forgotten what those questions were, I am happy to refresh your memory below:
You claim/ advertised that your so-called longevity mix increase life-expectancy (which is why it was named so, right?). Your website, BluePrint also mentions to consume one level scoop with 6-24 ounces of water in your cup of choice and consume with food. Where did you find this dose to be useful? Is this dose the same for adolescents, adults and elderly? Safe for children and pregnant women?
Where are the preclinical studies or at least a pilot trial that clarifies that this mix improved longevity in at least small animals? A study in zebra fish? Because it is the easiest to perform and you have all the money for this research.
https://t.co/EfBPTdi6d1
What about this supplement you sell on BluePrint?
You claim that Ashwagandha and Rhodiola "is an age-defying, nervous system supporting, cognitive function enhancing, immune system harmonizing" formulation without showing any evidence for those claims. And you charge $20 for this garbage.
https://t.co/68PZaGdw07
How did you find the effective dose here? Where is the safety study of this formulation? Did you know that Ashwagandha has severe liver toxicity and is not for everyone. You can read our study on it here: https://t.co/yRRlszGeG9.
Next, Rhodiola. There isn't enough reliable information to know if rhodiola is safe to use long-term. Side effects include dizziness, dry mouth, excessive saliva, and in some cases, may worsen autoimmune conditions. Reports have shown that the additional consumption of Rhodiola rosea (golden root or roseroot) was suspected to have caused a herb-herb interaction resulting in the liver injury in patients. You can about it here: https://t.co/jDkflQUU8f
On what basis are you mixing these two herbs and advising people to consume them? And for how long? How did you come to that dosing and duration? Any study to confirm it? Where is the study that shows that the combination is useful and safe? Will you be responsible for the severe side effects?
Your other product, called Red Yeast Rice, which you are selling on BluePrint, is claimed to support "health"
https://t.co/zIQfqwiDVo
- in what way? Why are you scamming people with vague claims? In fact, did you know that the presence of citrinin and monacolin K in red yeast rice, which is chemically similar to statins, leading to potential side effects like muscle, kidney, and liver damage in consumers?
Your ingredient description on red yeast rice and analysis documents do not mention the level of citrinin or monacolin K in your product. How did you come to the conclusion that this product is useful? Can you guarantee that through clinically relevant evidence, your product is found to be effective and safe? Where is that evidence?
Now I have been patient with you and waited for your clear answers, to my questions which you are avoiding like a plague. Instead of acting like a snowflake and giving me character certificates on X, man up and defend yourself and you utter garbage called BluePrint by showing clinically relevant evidence for your products. You cannot slither your way out of this.
You had recently criticized India's own national mascot of quackery and scam artist, Baba Ramdev.
https://t.co/ROvwigDZEI
But you and him are the same. He's doing it the primitive way and loud about it, but you have a refined approach to scamming people. Have some shame and come clean. You are nothing but a smooth talking snake-oil peddling version of Baba Ramdev in the USA.
I challenge you to prove BluePrint's clinically relevant evidence instead of giving me farts in the wind-tunnel responses.
