Indian Oil Corporation — unfair trade practice by the petrol filling station

Address:

Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh

Dear sir, This complain is regarding the unfair trade practice of petrol filling station in Gwalior, M.P. I have a Hero Pleasure Scooty on my name Adv.S.D.Varshney vehicle no. MP07 SA 6825 . It has fuel tank of 5 ltrs as prescribed in the manual. When the fuel gauge enters the red band the fuel left in the tank is approximately 1.2 ltrs which means that the remaining tank has the capacity of approximately 3.8 ltr(5 ltr-1.2ltr). I everytime fill the tank when it enters the red band. Everytime when i full the tank it is 3.5, 3.8, or hardly 4 ltrs sometime. On[protected] when the fuel gauge was on red band i went to Indian Oil Police Welfare Filling Station, Kampoo, Gwalior, M.P., India and asked to full the tank. They gave me bill of 5.7 ltr amounting Rs. 369.87. When the tank capacity provided by company manual is 5 ltr and upto red band it has approx 1.2 ltr . The fuel tank capacity provided by the company is 5 ltr then how can it be possible they filled 5.7ltr+ 1.2 ltr= 6.9ltr. When i filled it again in[protected] when it enterd the red band it was filled 4 ltr amounting to Rs.259.56 which shows 4 ltr+ 1.2ltr= 5.2 ltr which is considerable but 6.9 ltr which is approximately 7 ltr is not considerable. Everytime when i full the tank it is 3.5, 3.8, or hardly 4 ltrs sometime how it could be filled by 5.7 ltr on date[protected]. I complained regarding it to the filling station manager. He took my mobile no. and assured me to call and short out the issue but i never got any call from his side. How can the filling station fill the quantity which is not supported by the tank? The filling station have been found practicing unfair means while filling the fuel they are found adding the previous customers fuel balance to the later customers. And i too have doubt regarding the same that my quantity was added to some other previous customer's filling amount. Such practices are against public welfare and comes under unfair trade practice so it should be stopped immediately. I kindly request u to generate such order that the filling station correct the bill from 5.7 ltr to 3.8 ltr and refund the excess amount and pass such rules that discourage such fraud and unfair practice. The pictures of the billes provided by the filling station and my scooty level before filling and after filling are attached here with. Regards, Adv. S.D.
