New source of oil in Southern Damascus

By Abu Abdullah Al Hourani; Translation by Yusra Ahmed

(Zaman Al Wasl)- People in Southern of Damascus which have been under severe siege for 2 years, found a new source of fuel can be used in their daily activities, where plastic materials of any kind can be source of that fuel by melting it and collecting the fluid to be used instead of oil.

“The more pure the plastic materials used the more similar the fluid to gasoline” Adel, an owner of a workshop to recycle “new petrol” said to Zaman al-Wasl.

Adel added that fast spread of that way in regenerating fuel, which cost S.P.200-300 per a litre, enabled people to afford for their need for electricity. Moreover it led to reducing prices of gas from S.P1500 per a litre to almost a half “S.P 750”.
