Fuel pump test

[MarkGU]

Has anyone done the test where say if fuel is advertised at $1:60/Ltr, pump in $1 worth and see if the pump is accurate?
It wouldnt take too long to rack up big profits for the servo's if the pump was out a few cents or so 

Going to try this next time i fuel up.

Here is a Face Book link to post pics ( and shame) the servo's who are doing this.

That photo above has been doing the rounds for a while.  General consensus is it has been Photoshopped.  Look at the different nines.

Don't need to do only $1
Fill up, divide total $$ by total qty. you will have $ per litre to compare with advertised price.

The bigger question......is the pump actually delivering the volume displayed??

[Fathom]

^^^ too true.
Although I agree the get checked pretty regularly I believe.
They are already screwing us honestly. I don't think they need to lie about it.

[oldmate]

yep i agree geoff, doesnt matter if the numbers on the pump do match, if it only delivers 500ml, per lt shown on display

That's right, if they wanted to rip us off (more than they already do between the govt and the oil companies) they would just make the pump deliver less!

All fuel pumps (should) have a little sticker on them that says when they were last tested (or when they next have to be tested.. I forget) which is some government agency (if you want specifics I am sure google will tell you)

What has always got me is they test the volume is correct and if there is an error they put a red label on the pump and people continue using it anyway.......

Maybe in NSW but NOT IN QLD !!

Pumps in WA have a sticker with the date and checkers number on it.

QLD Dept of Weights and Measures used to do it - that department no longer exists. Often in the past they would have a pump blocked off while checking - doesn't happen any more. Food scales in supermarkets were also regularly checked - no more !!

Have had numerous occasions where the 30 litre sub tank in my Patrol has supposedly taken up to 38 litres to fill ! WTF !! How come in WA I can only get up to 31 litres into it but in QLD it takes 38 litres?

I smell a RAT !!

That is an absurd comment. We all know tin foil is futile  unless used with 6B&S.
Probably just saved your life...
Your welcome.

Yep, 6B&S or that 25mm wide copper earthing strap attached to the tinfoil hat.
More the better, make it look like a  Mullet.

Weights and Measures have got this stuff well and truly covered but there's always the odd nutter worried about the weight of the placcy bag when buying fruit and veg that they're not getting their true weight's worth.

As for Big Oil and the servos all in cahoots ripping us off, the conspiracy theorists among us need to explain why these big bad monopolists ever drop their prices in the price cycle. Yeah I know, Big Oil has this wicked sense of humour unlike the three tiers of Gummint
