Riyadh Oil Spill: Saudi government reveals on video of oil spill in Riyadh, petrol pump was selling diesel illegally

A video of oil spill in Riyadh had gone viral on social media, about which the Saudi government has now told the whole truth. This incident was the result of ignoring the rules and illegal action, which started a lot of discussion in the city.

The Permanent Executive Committee for Service Centers and Fuel Stations (Saudi Fuel) clarified that the incident occurred on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. As soon as the information was received, Civil Defense teams immediately reached the spot and took control of the situation and took all necessary precautions. The fortunate thing is that no one was injured in this accident.

How did this accident happen?

Investigation revealed that the leak had occurred from a petrol pump which was closed and was not following government rules. This pump was secretly selling diesel to unlicensed tankers. These tankers did not have any valid license from the Ministry of Energy, making the entire matter illegal.

At present the legal process has been started in this matter. Strict action is being taken against those responsible and preparations are underway to provide compensation to the affected parties.

The government has appealed to the general public and expatriates that if they see any suspicious activity or disturbance at any petrol pump, then they should definitely report it. Toll free number for this 8001244777 You can call or use “Taqa” app.
