There is no zero in the meter, look at the density of oil. Sir, the petrol pump owner told the real trick to avoid fraud.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Are you also one of those people who believe that filling oil in round figures like 100, 200, 500 at the petrol pump is harmful and filling it in odd figures like 110, 220, 510 is beneficial? If yes, then you are living a big illusion. In today’s era of digital machines, this thing has no meaning anymore.

This disclosure has not been made by any expert, but by an employee who has been working at the petrol pump for years. He says that people get entangled in these small things and do not pay attention to the two most important things. This is the reason why they become victims of fraud.

So let us know which two things you should always keep in mind while filling petrol, which will save your money and also give you the right mileage.

1. Did you see “zero” before filling the oil?

This may sound trivial, but most of the frauds at petrol pumps start from here. According to the petrol pump employee, many people do not even get down from the car or are so busy talking on the phone that they do not even look at the meter.

• How is the game: Many times the employee starts moving the meter based on the reading of the previous customer. Suppose someone filled oil worth Rs 50 and you did not pay attention, then your meter will start at Rs 50 and you will directly lose Rs 50.
• What you have to do: Always check “Zero (0.00)” on the meter before filling your car with oil. Only when you are completely satisfied, ask the employee to fill the oil. This is both your right and your caution.

2. “Density” of petrol means guarantee of purity.

This is the thing that 90% people do not pay attention to, but it is the biggest evidence to tell the quality of the oil. The density of the oil is written on the display of the machine at every petrol pump.

• Why is density important: A standard density has been set by the government for the purity of petrol and diesel. If the density shown on the machine is much lower or higher than this standard, it means that the oil may be adulterated. Adulterated oil not only spoils the engine of your vehicle, but it also reduces the mileage significantly.
• What you have to do: Whenever you fill petrol or diesel, definitely check the density reading on the meter. If you find anything wrong in it, you can complain to the pump manager and record your views in the complaint book.

So next time you go to fill your car with oil, instead of getting worried about 110-220, pay attention to “Zero” and “Density”. A little awareness can save you from big losses.
