Hello everyone .
I feel this post is going to be useful for all those who go to Petrol Bunks often.
I am not blaming any Petrol bunks or any person here. Not all petrol bunks does this but a few but its better if you folks are careful.
Well lets get started
I have a habit of checking my mileage every time. And recently i realized that i have been cheated by the Petrol bunk people.
Basic plan
When you stop your bike to fill fuel, 2(or more) petrol bunk people will be standing around you one towards your right (The one filling the fuel) and other(money collector) who is the one who draws your attention towards him or her so as to buy sometime for the filler guy to cheat you.
I'll share 2 incidents that happened to me
1)The first one. I told the fuel guy to put fuel for 100 bucks and opened my petrol tank can, one petrol girl and 2 guys were standing next to my bike(other side) the girl asked me how much Petrol i wanted , i said for 100 bucks. She was like sir please give 7 more rupees so that we will put 1 and half liter. I said no thanks, just put for 100bucks and when i turned to the right i saw that the fuel filler had been taken out of my petrol tank and the meter read only 72. I asked him why, he said sir u said 1 liter(I had never said). I told him i want for 100 bucks again and then he put the rest of the fuel.
2)Second Incident - The guy asked me for how much , i told 200 bucks , he told me to see for the zero meter in one of the Petrol fillers. The other filler read 54 or something. I was like that doesn't matter right so why bother, so i told okay put. Then a person towards my other side diverted my attention by asking me something . When i turned back i saw that the filler guy was filling from the fuel other filler which read 54 earlier.
So i just want you guys to be careful. People will try to cheat you in many ways. You have got to be careful while you are in a petrol bunk.
Just make sure you follow these points and everything will be fine
1)See for the 0 reading properly.
2)Specify very clearly for how much money you need the fuel for.
3)Don't let your attention be drawn away by someone else and keep an eye on the meter of your filler.
4)If possible keep a track of your Mileage so that you'll know if you were cheated
Thanks for reading
I hope it helped :)
