Are oil prices rising and tank capacity rising? The owner of Jinshan met...

A few days ago, the Caojing Town Market Supervision Office received a complaint about refueling. Consumers said that in early March in a gas station to refuel, usually only need about 1000 yuan to fill the fuel tank, in the gas station need 1350 yuan to fill up, more than 350 yuan spent, and the usual refueling cost is not consistent. The consumer believes that there is a metering problem with the gas station and demands a reasonable refund.

After receiving the complaint, the Caojing Market Supervision Office went to the gas station involved to carry out an investigation at the first time, further inspected the verification of the fuel dispenser, and found that the gas station's fuel dispenser had an effective inspection report issued by the Jinshan District Metrology Quality Inspection Institute, and there was a valid verification pass mark on the fuel dispenser, and the internal lead seal of the fuel dispenser was viewed, and there was no sign of unsealing, and the staff was required to carry out refueling operations on the spot and retrieve the refueling flow record to further verify the amount and amount of refueling, and no problem was found.

Subsequently, the staff of the Market Supervision Office contacted the consumer and replied to the complainant with the above investigation.

According to the consumer's recollection, he was driving a Jiefang brand truck that day, driving to the gas station and choosing to add 1,000 yuan of diesel fuel first, and the fuel gauge pointer in the car was close to the red grid when refueling. According to past experience, the amount of 1,000 yuan of fuel can basically fill the tank, and the actual addition of only half of the tank of oil on the day is not consistent with the consumer's previous refueling, and then it took 350 yuan more to fill the tank.

In the process of inquiry, it was learned that the last time the consumer had recorded refueling was on January 26, when the price of No. 0 diesel in Shanghai was 7.05 yuan / liter, while the price of No. 0 diesel at the time of refueling was 7.48 yuan / liter, and in the case of the same refueling cost of 1000 yuan, the difference between the two refueling before and after was about 8.15 liters.

The staff of the Market Supervision Institute told reporters that after on-site inspection and evidence collection, there was no problem with the gas pump in the gas station. The main reasons why the consumer has doubts about the amount of refueling are as follows. First, failure to pay attention to changes in oil prices in a timely manner. Second, before refueling, there is an error in the actual oil quantity in the tank. Third, the actual capacity of the vehicle fuel tank is greater than the rated capacity, resulting in the refueling being too full.

In response to this incident, the staff of the Market Supervision Institute

Remind consumers!

1

When refueling, everyone pays attention to whether the (fuel dispenser) display is zeroed, and pays attention to the oil price in real time.

2

In order to ensure the accurate operation of the fuel dispenser, (the Market Supervision Bureau) will carry out a mandatory verification of the fuel dispenser every six months, and the maximum allowable error is only three thousandths, and (consumers) can check whether the inspection certificate is within the validity period when refueling.

3

According to the national mandatory standards, the rated capacity of the fuel tank is controlled at 95% of the maximum liquid, and the actual capacity we usually say is not equal to the rated capacity, and it is possible to increase to 55 liters or more in the case of a 50 liter fuel tank.

(Consumers) who encounter doubts while refueling can keep valid credentials and call 12315 or 12345 for help.
