The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) jointly with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has dismissed quality concerns over some of the fuel being sold in the country.

In a statement on Thursday, the two agencies cautioned the public about gadgets that provide false or unverified Research Octane Number (RON) ratings.

Research Octane Number (RON) ratings, also known as octane ratings is the standard measure of a fuel's ability to withstand compression in an internal engine combustion.

Using a fuel with low RON could lead to engine knocking.
