Once it is metered consistently at both the start and end of the delivery, I don't think it matters whether the meter is as the start or end of the hose.Dunnangall said:yes but is it metered from the start of the hose or the end of the hose. are you getting the oil that is left in the hose?
The Legal and meterology service a part of the NSAI inspect petrol pumps annually.cuchulainn said:How do you know what you are getting at petrol pumps? theres 20 'half ones' in a bottle of spirits but its a poor pubican who doesn't get at least 21 out of the bottle. I personally have my doubts about the meters on petrol pumps. I'm sure theres weights and measures people who check on them but how often?
Note that there are legal regulations about what kinds of canisters you can legally purchase petrol in (to stop the kids filling up their milk-bottles at the pumps, as used to happen in the old days), so you'd need to make sure your canister is safe.ClubMan said:If you suspect that you are being ripped off by petrol stations then why not carry a canister of known quantity and a funnel with you in the boot and then dispense the petrol into the canister before decanting it into the car's tank? That way you will be sure of what you're getting and can complain with confidence if you are not getting the correct amount displayed on the pump
