Oil marketers have been directed to temporarily close fuel stations in places that have been flooded in a bid to ensure they do not sell contaminated fuel.

The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) announced the decision Wednesday as it moves to protect motorists from contaminated fuel, which leads to damaged engines, pushing them to incur huge costs in repairing or replacing them.
