Abstract
The granulate ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) has been reported to bore into the fuel pipe of petrol vehicles, leading to petrol leakage and fire accidents. Blending of ethanol in petrol due to the National Policy on Biofuels is implicated in X. crassiusculus getting attracted to the fuel pipe of petrol vehicles leading to burning of vehicles and loss of life.
