ପେଟ୍ରୋଲ ପମ୍ପରେ ବଡ଼ ଠକାମି! Special Report On Petrol Pump Fraud | Don’t Trust Zero! Check This Number

According to a report by Kanak News, motorists are being urged to exercise greater vigilance when refueling at petrol stations to avoid potential fraud. The report highlights that simply checking for the 'zero' display on a fuel dispenser may not be sufficient to ensure the quality and quantity of the fuel being purchased.

The broadcast advises consumers to be aware of additional parameters, specifically fuel density, which serves as a key indicator of petrol and diesel quality. Motorists who have concerns regarding the fuel being dispensed are encouraged to request a formal density check from the station staff. Furthermore, the report notes that customers have the right to request a filter paper test to check for impurities in petrol.

In cases where there is suspicion regarding the accuracy of the fuel volume delivered, the report reminds consumers that they are entitled to demand a calibrated 5-litre measure test. These measures are part of the standard consumer protections available at fuel retail outlets across India. By staying informed about these verification methods, consumers can better protect themselves against potential malpractice at the pump.
