Profeco and ASEA Temporarily Close Four Tabasco Gas Stations After Fuel‑Meter Violations

The sweep reflects a national push to stabilize gasoline prices through expanded inspections with criminal referrals for serious shortfalls.

Overview

  • An Operativo Extraordinario led by Profeco chief Iván Escalante Ruiz inspected stations in Cárdenas, Comalcalco and Centro, Tabasco.
  • Profeco immobilized five measuring instruments, including three for dispensing incomplete liters and two that failed retention and display tests after a power loss.
  • Two dispensers exceeded the 300 milliliters per 20 liters error threshold, prompting Profeco to prepare complaints to the Fiscalía General de la República.
  • ASEA ordered temporary total closures at four of the six stations visited for not presenting a valid environmental impact resolutivo required for legal operation.
  • The interagency operation involved Sener, SSPC, the National Guard, Pemex, the CNE, ASEA and Profeco under the national fuel‑price stabilization strategy.
