In a shocking and deeply concerning incident, popular journalist and public figure Manish Kashyap has revealed that his brand new Toyota Innova broke down after covering just 12,000 kilometres allegedly due to damage caused by ethanol blended petrol in a non-compatible engine. The incident has gone massively viral on social media highlighting a growing and serious problem being faced by thousands of vehicle owners across India whose engines are not compatible with the increasingly prevalent ethanol blended fuel being supplied at petrol pumps. Manish Kashyap's experience has sparked intense debate about whether the government is moving too fast with ethanol blending without adequately ensuring that vehicles on Indian roads are properly equipped to handle such fuel. Auto experts and vehicle owners are expressing serious concern and demanding that authorities take immediate steps to either make engine-compatible ethanol fuel mandatory or ensure that non-compatible vehicles are clearly protected from such damage.
