Petrol Pump Fraud? Check Meter, Monitor Refueling to Avoid Cheating!

  • Always check the fuel meter to ensure it starts from 0.00 before refueling to prevent short-filling.
  • Step out of your vehicle and personally monitor the refueling process to confirm proper nozzle insertion and full delivery.
  • Modern petrol pump meters are sealed, automated, and regularly inspected, making manipulation difficult without tampering.
  • Refuel for a full tank or round figures (e.g., ₹500, ₹1000) for easier verification and less suspicion.
  • Customers have the right to request a check with the 5-liter measuring can if they suspect irregularities.

Why It Matters: Stay vigilant and aware at petrol pumps to ensure you receive full and pure fuel, avoiding common frauds.
