Meter is already messed up
At some petrol pumps, the meter is already rigged, due to which the meter starts even before the petrol is released from the hose. A motorist caught a similar meter at a fuel station near Hosur in Tamil Nadu. After which he started a ruckus, although the manager, handling the incident, gave a discount of Rs 500 in fuel to the motor vehicle owner.
excessively long fuel hose
Whenever petrol stations use long pipes, the pumps save a lot of petrol. In such a situation, the meter will show that a certain amount of petrol has been put in your vehicle, but that much petrol does not reach your tank as much as you have bought. Due to the long pipe, the petrol gets stuck in it, and it goes back to the pump. Doing so could increase the number of petrol stations saved in a day.

sticking fingers firmly into the tip of the tube
This slows down the flow of fuel, and in doing so the station worker can save up to a liter at a time. Apart from this, always keep in mind that when the attendant asks you how much petrol you need. You say you want petrol worth Rs 1,000.
He stops at Rs 200 while configuring the meter, and confirms again, and ‘updates’ the value to Rs 800. You may think that you are getting petrol for Rs 1,000, but you are getting petrol only for Rs 800, because he has not done so. In this case, always reset the meter.
