Regarding to the case of illegal gas the Dong Nai province police catched red-handed, the investigation police determined the Việt company Ltd. and Xuân Hằng facility have provided to the market everyday with 1.000 - 1.200 gas cylinders by illegal extraction.
This illegal gas mainly provided to agents or companies in Dong Nai, Binh Duong provinces and Thu Duc district (HCM city).
Doan Trong Tha, head of the legal department of Vietnam Gas Association, illegal gas extraction is an uncontrollable problem. Some shops store petroleum of unknown origin in cylinders from well-known brands to trick customers. In other cases, the shops save money by using empty cylinders from other brands, sanding and modifying the cylinders for their own use and this poses a huge fire risk.
