A recent video has surfaced alleging that a petrol station in Perak tampered with its fuel pump's electronics to dispense less fuel than displayed. The video demonstrates how the Malaysian government's Weights and Measures Act 1972 is used to regulate fuel dispensing accuracy. The tolerated allowance for a 10-liter fuel volume is between -25 and +50 ml. The case highlights the importance of consumer vigilance and reporting any suspected discrepancies to the authorities.
It’s something a lot of us take for granted, but how do you know you’re getting the exact amount of fuel for your ringgit at petrol stations? The) and should display a sticker showing the expiry date of said verification. If you think you’re getting less fuel than you should, report it to KPDN, says the officer.The same video shows a 10-litre fuel volume measuring device used by KPDN to conduct such testing.
The second video alleges that a petrol station modified at least one of its pumps’ electronics to dispense less fuel than displayed. The gauge showed less than -25 ml, and action will be taken on the station in question under the Weights and Measures Act 1972.While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there.
Car can do 750km on 100L tank so 7.5km/L. I have 150km indicated range so that’s 1/5 left, so 4/5 of 100L is 80L. It will pop at 79.5-80.5L pumped in. Keeps me occupied since you cannot swipe phone while pumping petrol.TBH, if the lowest tolerance is -25ml, definitely everyone petrol station is going to try to adjust to -25 if they know checks aren’t frequent
Based on video worst case assuming they adjusted to -40, thats just about 1.54% difference from -25, if you usually pump RM100, now is RM101.54, which is still difficult to catch by consumers
