[Resolved]  Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] — Fuel cheating

Address:

411057

Hi,

This is in regard to fuel cheating that is being done systematically by almost all petrol dealers in pune.

I would make it clear by sharing my today’s experience at iocl petrol station named sukhwani petrol pump situated near hinjewadi bridge. I asked the person to fill the fuel for rs.250. He set the meter at 250. After it reached 80, he adjusted the pipe and said since it has caught air, he has to set it to 170 telling me that it’s now 250.

However, since i regularly fill the same amount of petrol, i knew how far the meter goes. I suspected and told him straight away that you have not filled properly. Surprisingly another man came to me and told me that he would fill more petrol of rs.50 without making any noise.

I saw manager and approached him and again with big surprise he behaved as nothing has happened. There was no change of expression on his face when i told him that i will lodge a complaint for this cheating.

After few days, fearing that it will expose them, they put the boards saying if meter does not move, it won’t be their responsibility. I took a picture of it as attached in the email.

I believe it's happening at all fuel stations and by doing such unethical and dishonest activities, petrol dealers not only save lot of petrol but earn for the lesser petrol and also help workers to earn too from the consumers pocket.
