[Resolved]  Hp Hira Petrol Pump Sec 53 Gurgaon — Cheating and tampering the pump machine to fill less fuel

Address:Gurgaon, Haryana

This complaint is against the HP Hira Gas Station Sec 53 Gurgaon. I usually get around Rs[protected] petrol in my car and pay by credit card. At this gas station, one of the staffers fill the petrol in the tank and the other swipes the card meanwhile which is quite normal. However, the issue is that when I am signing on the card receipt the other staffer involves in some conversation like present offers etc and the first staffer who is filling the tank does something on the machine and the meter shows the required amount as filled. This means that when you are filling for Rs1000 petrol and the meter is at Rs820, the first staffer does something there and meter shows 1000 and stops there, meaning that you get Rs180 less petrol!!
Fortunately, at that instance when the first staffer did something on the machine I looked up from driving seat to the machine and noticed that (and at that time second staffer was trying to keep me involved in credit card receipts and offers!). And believe me both of these guys went pale on noticing that I have caught them red handed!

On raising this issue with the pump owner (Mr Gaurav) he gives a lame excuse that due to intermittent electricity supply this happens!! However, this still sounds grey as the staffers would never come back to tell that due to electricity issue I got less petrol until and unless I myself noticed that as the meter shows 1000 wheras in actual quite less petrol goes into my car. (Am not sure how many more times they would have cheated me before when I failed to notice this!)

Just wished to share this experience with all. Please be very attentive if you are taking fuel from this station as this is your hard earned money! I would rather suggest you look for any other gas station, in case you don't get one keep your eyes on the meter all the time here. Good Luck!

I live in Suncity and have noticed the same thing atleast twice.

Earlier, they didnt even have credit/debit card facility with them.. Even then they indulged in such malpractices. On one of the occasions I literally had a big argument with the manager of the pump. Worked for that instance alteast.

Gas Station — Tampering of meters

I have my own doubts on the installed machines in the Indian Oil Gas Station on Basaveshwarnagar Main Road (Near Water Tank), Bangalore. I would like to know if the machines are verified regularly or not - if not, I urge you to take a surprise check on this station and verify if the machine is rendering appropriate liter of petrol/diesel

Yes, that's true. I have faced it twice. They common modus operandi is:

1. You are single at driver seat. When the fuel is around 700- 800Rs out of 1000Rs the guy will come to you and then talks to you of some offer.
2. The filler man then resets the counter (at that time you are diverted by the guy in point 1)
3. Even when you notice that he is resetting the counter he'll say the electricity has gone so I will start from there on.
4. Some other modes of your mind diversions are : offers, windshield cleansing, your car has inadequate air (suddenly !!), fill in the feedback form etc.
5. Today I was asked don't you have credit card (when I handed him debit card)... why on earth he needs a credit card when I have debit card !!!

We are being fooled... but they are so shrewd that they have formed a group and everybody knows his position in this malpractice. Who will come with offer, who will come with air pressure problem ...!!!
