Fuel short deliveries

The other day a friend explained how a fuel browser he was using just stopped working when he was filling up his car. Apparently it had become faulty anyhow he paid for what he had put in his tank. Personally I think they should have given him it for free.

Okay the thing is what was at fault he didn’t know, was it that the pump was delivering more or less than it should. Anyhow after some checking it was found that some stations had been short delivering.

If this was wide spread then would it not amount to an awful lot of money. I am wondering if BTS members had come across this before in there travels. Is it a global problem or was it a one off.

Now if you go to the shops and buy some amount of beer you can complain because you can count. It’s difficult to drive back to the station and even prove you are short delivered. The only way to be sure would be to have a weigh bridge in and out to be sure.

Any experiences, have you never wondered about this?
