Somalia has been busy in recent days, not long ago I spoke for some highways in Guangdong, and then rushed to Meishan, Sichuan, to stand for a highway toll station. What's going on here? Let's find out.
It is said that a car owner went out of the door in a hurry, and when passing the service area on the highway, he looked at the only 2 blocks of fuel left in the fuel tank, so he drove into the gas station in the service area to prepare for refueling, and said the words that made countless car owners envious: 92 full. In the process of waiting for refueling, something unbelievable happened to him, when the indicator of the fuel gauge came to 53L, he confirmed it to the refueler, but the refueler said that the fuel gun could be added without jumping, and when the indicator came to 56L, the owner could not sit still and stopped the refueler from continuing to refuel.
When the owner asked the refueler suspiciously, my fuel tank volume is only 50L, how do you add 56L and there is no sign of stopping, and my fuel tank still has 2 blocks of oil? The refueler is just a mechanical repeat of the oil gun before jumping can continue to reload, which makes the owner very angry, feels deceived, and refuses to pay the fuel fee, but also has to let the person in charge of the gas station come out to explain clearly.
Gas station staff said that it is caused by the owner's doubts, the fuel tank it has a safety volume and the actual volume, the car company's nominal 50L refers to the safety volume of the fuel tank, in fact, the volume of the fuel tank is much larger than the safety volume. Therefore, it is completely possible to add the nominal 50L fuel tank to 56L, but the owner does not understand but wants to talk nonsense here. So, is this staff member telling the truth?
According to the relevant laws and regulations of the mainland, the nominal volume of the fuel tank shall not be greater than 95% of the actual volume of the fuel tank, that is, the volume of the fuel tank can be smaller and cannot be larger. The purpose of this is because gasoline is a volatile liquid and has a "coefficient of expansion". Therefore, usually do not fill up too full of fuel, leave a certain margin for the fuel tank, avoid gasoline from expanding and overflowing the fuel tank at high temperature, and ensure our driving safety.
So the owner is vexatious? The owner was not very satisfied with the staff's answer, his car already had 2 compartments of oil, and he could even add 56L, which was obviously a petty gas station. In order to verify his guess, the owner proposed to pump all the oil in the tank and measure it on the spot in front of everyone, and it was naturally clear who was right and who was wrong, but this reasonable request was directly rejected by the staff.
At this time, the owner felt that the gas station was tricky, so he chose to call the police angrily, and the police arrived and mediated the two parties. The owner insisted that the gas guns at the gas station were tricky, and the gas stations said that their equipment had been tested by the relevant departments, there were no problems, and there would be no artificial adjustment of the fuel gun. If the owner does not approve of it, you can go to the relevant department to report, and the gas station will not make further responses to this matter.
Although it is normal that the actual volume of the fuel tank is larger than the nominal volume, it is obviously unreasonable to add 6L more when the owner still has two compartments of oil. For the way the owner proposed to prove his innocence, the gas station refused it, which also had to arouse people's suspicions. So this wave, which side are you on?
