Absolutely. Low fuel quality is a serious issue in Pakistan:

Contaminated petrol with water, rust, o r debris from unreliable stations leads to faster fuel filter blockage.

Adulterated fuel with kerosene o r solvents degrades fuel system components.

Choked fuel filters cause low fuel pressure, leading to poor engine performance and hesitation during acceleration.

➡️ Recommendation: Only refuel at trusted petrol stations e.g., PSO, Total, Shell.
