Petrol Pump Alert: Don't Get Cheated! Essential Tips to Save Money

• Petrol pump frauds include not zeroing the meter, nozzle on-off manipulation, and using chips/remotes for less fuel, especially on round figures.
• Other scams involve filling premium fuel without consent or providing substandard fuel by altering its density.
• To prevent fraud, always check the meter is zeroed before refueling and avoid requesting fuel in round figures.
• Monitor the meter during refueling, and if suspicious about quality, request a density test.
• After auto-cut, ensure the nozzle remains in the tank for a few seconds to dispense all fuel.
