petrol pumps are calibrated to full flow and several gallons. in particular the meter is not judged to be accurate for less than 1/2 gallon ( about 2 litres) this is because the volume is measured by an impeller not by a positive displacement device ( like a piston) than is because a piston system could not deliver at sufficient flow rate.

@@mikephillips2984 You really ought to learn about mass versus volume.
Here in the US you have to be certified to perform this Calibration. It requires a Certified and Calibrated 5 gallon container and a set of scales. Gasoline has to be with 3/10 of a pound @ 6.7 lbs per gallon. Then with the right certificate you are allowed to recalibrate the pumps. Using special tools called a Spanner and, the older Gilbarco pumps used a ⅜" Allen Screw. Not sure what the newer types use now. Then you had a safety tie cable and a lead seal that you pressed onto the cable tie with a certificate stamp with a number that was assigned to you. Mine used AR 9355. So yes I do know what I am talking about.
I was one of those state certified guys with a license number that was stamped into the seal after any work was done. I did the 10 oil delivery trucks in our fleet and they were all checked by the state once a year when they also did our delivery rack and the vehicle fuel pumps. The annual check took maybe 2-3 hours with some minor adjustments.
@@jonitrost8124 Considering how short the time frame is between the tank and the measuring container, the temp is not really a consideration. Same goes for checking a delivery truck, even if it's parked outside overnight at 20 degrees F. We're measuring volume and unless there's a wild temp swing over many hours, the reading will be consistent enough for practical purposes, which is why they allow some deviation.
Because the pumps are corrected to the density of the fuel at a certain temperature. If it’s really cold you come out ahead if it’s super hot you don’t . In Canada corrected to 15 degrees Celsius or 59 degrees Fahrenheit .
@@dtulip1 unfortunately in your argument that portion of the petrol has already been metered. It's down to the density of the fuel and the ambient temperature. Fuel expands and contracts depending on the temperature.
There is always a sticker stating that volume is corrected to 15C or 60F. When it’s colder than that, you get less gas for the same money. It’s everywhere.
They’re tested and calibrated by a 3rd party company. The gas company and/or the gas station company have no say in it. Testing and calibration is also done at a specific temperature, when the temperature is different, the measurements differ, but it doesn’t make much different at all in your car
Yeah that's probably the most accurate answer there will be some small variance due to temperature being different than calibration temperature but mostly it's still in the hose
Pumps are temperature corrected to 15.55C or 60F. At colder temperatures you appear to get less fuel. Take the "test tube" inside and let it warm to 15.55C to see how it measures then. She also did not quite fill it to 1.00 litre.
Do not go to a shell or BP garage for this exact reason. I put £55 in the car at TESCO and £55 at BP and shell. Over a few months. I took note of the differences in litres and mileage. TESCO was the better and more honest petrol station. I had nearly 4 days worth of fuel more than shell and BP! Absolute rip offs
IN AUSTRALIA, THE DEPARTMENT OF WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS DO RANDOM & REQUESTED INVESTIGATIONS into our petrol stations, big fines apply.. & did the person before her , preset their amount so the pump cuts off,, then drain the hose of its residual between the pump & Nozzle 💯, after pump switches off, keep fuel nozzle handle open & lift the hose above nozzle, the residue fuel in the hose runs freely out..
The amount in the hose is taken into consideration in the measurements because you can't drain the hose. They seal at the handle. Otherwise every time you let go of the trigger you'd continue to get a hose worth of fuel instead of a couple extra drips.
@Rabbit-the-One After the pump has switched off, either through manually touching the off lever or setting a pre paid amount, pull on pump handle & lift fuel hose above the fuel nozzle & the residue fuel in the hose will run freely out. It works here in Australia
I read alot of excuses being made, when in reality theyre just ripping everyone off! Not just filling stations, fast food stores, designer clothes, streaming services, rents, the list goes on.
You see that ? "livriasin minimale 5 litres" Well looks like only me and some other guy saw it and know what it means, it means they cant guarantee full accuracy under 5 litres
I was tested the same thing with 10l canister...gas station worker immediately come and stopped me not to do because of safety reason. they are criminals.
Even if say the fuel stations are out 5% what consumer is going to care- but for a business that's 5% pure profits. I think there are huge incentives there for petrol stations for a little dodginess
Gentlemen! The problem of gasoline quality is more painful for a car than the quantity in one liter! And unfortunately no one checks the quality at the proper level😂😂😂
The real scam is investing in cars and infrastructure that require you to have cars instead of requiring you to be able to walk which is a normal thing mostly anyone can do unless you have disabilities and they spread everything out and keep us all divided to prevent us from waking up to the real problems and over throw the government
Bottom right on the pump it says minimum delivery 5 litres, this means that there is no guarantee on below 5 litres being exact so you cannot sue you agree to this when starting the pump
1. Not a test tube 2. What is the error range 3. Evaporation 4. Measuring cylinders are not accurate. Need a more accurate measuring device and under the conditions require to satisfy the measurement conditions per the ASTM requirements (or other national standard)
Some are off by a huge amount too. Remember pulling into a gas station years ago literally running on fumes. Car had a 17 gallon tank, and I stopped pumping when the gas pymp was reading almost 18 gallons dispensed & still going (fuel gauge in the car wasn't all the way to the F mark either).
It's common for gas guages to lie. That lessens the probability of running the tank dry. Aside from the possibility of pulling crap into your injectors, most gas pumps are in the gas tank where the gas dissipates the pump's heat. If the tank ran down, the pump would overrheat. I did that with a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had 125,000 miles on it. For the fuel pump, it was totaled.
For fuel calibration for us anyway, the company dispenses 100 gallons of fuel and compares his calibrated gauge on his tank to what our register shows what's been delivered.
Minimum delivery is usually more than 1litre. There are good reasons for that. Errors are always greater on startup of an lfmi. Not a calibrated measure anyway . Could be temp compensation too. UK typically will carry out testing at 5, 10 and 20l measures.
The minimum Volume is 5 liters, stated right there under the blue sticker under the display at the end. My guess is 1 liter is not enough for a good measurement, especially that slow stop and go she does to get it exact. On 50 liters the discrepancy should be less or the same
Exactly. The pumps can’t be calibrated to such a low amount, plus there is fuel in the nozzle and line. They have that sticker for exactly that reason, they are calibrated for 5L and above.
gas pump stations are calibrated at 20 degrees Celsius, and with temperature changes, the volume changes (heat expands), which leads to imprecise measurements.
Gas expansion and contracts.. when we order gas for the pumps we had to take consideration for temperature… but oil companies are not that precise when dumping fuel in the service stations storage tanks.. yet if you go over a cent you are charged so they make more money at the pump
Several gas stations around me fill my car with a 12.5 gallon tank well over the size of the tank. And I'm on about a quarter tank. So it is possible to get ripped off.
Someone most probably tampered with the pumps. This is why the local government needs to do either frequent checks or make random surprise checks to catch the perpetrators.
Gasoline goes from liquid to gas fairly quickly. That's what you burn is the gas, not the liquid. That's why you have a fuel injector, which takes a small bit of liquid fuel, and that converts to a gas, which then ignites
The hose had been drained. So when the pump starts, it refills the hose plus the container. Under normal use, there is always some in the hose. No scam whatsoever.
+- 10% is legacy from the old mechanical pumps to compensate for inaccuracies. With electronic pumps are vey precise so the -10% is calculated and profitable.
Pumps are carefully calibrated and tested frequently, and flow accuracy starts around 5 liters in most cases due to how the pumps work. If you're going to get upset over something, do a little research before making noise. Don't trust everything you hear.

Pumps are temperature corrected to 15.55C or 60F. At colder temperatures you appear to get less fuel. Take the "test tube" inside and let it warm to 15.55C to see how it measures then. She also did not quite fill it to 1.00 litre.
Mmhhmmm?! See you on the court?! 😂😂
Can't sue when it clearly says minimum deliver 5l
Cause their scamming us.
They aren't
I pumped gas as a kid. Loved watching Weights and Measures come and verify our pumps.
This is very strictly regulated. If this truely happens you can sue them for 100 mil without issues.
there is no suit involved. Chronic offenders are fined by the state and possible loss of license to do business.
You get less when it's cold. More when it's hot
It did truly happen. It's why the pump states minimum 5 liters. Less than that they cant guarantee the pricing will be accurate.
It’s temperature corrected.
It says minimum delivery 5l because bellow that it is inaccurate and you can't sue until you pour past 5l
Do not go to a shell or BP garage for this exact reason. I put £55 in the car at TESCO and £55 at BP and shell. Over a few months. I took note of the differences in litres and mileage. TESCO was the better and more honest petrol station. I had nearly 4 days worth of fuel more than shell and BP! Absolute rip offs
lmao yeah a totally scientific and precisely measured example...not taking into account 1000s of factors😂🤡
This is why when refuelling an aircraft its measured in weight not volume.
IN AUSTRALIA, THE DEPARTMENT OF WEIGHTS & MEASUREMENTS DO RANDOM & REQUESTED INVESTIGATIONS into our petrol stations, big fines apply.. & did the person before her , preset their amount so the pump cuts off,, then drain the hose of its residual between the pump & Nozzle 💯, after pump switches off, keep fuel nozzle handle open & lift the hose above nozzle, the residue fuel in the hose runs freely out..
The amount in the hose is taken into consideration in the measurements because you can't drain the hose. They seal at the handle. Otherwise every time you let go of the trigger you'd continue to get a hose worth of fuel instead of a couple extra drips.
@Rabbit-the-One
After the pump has switched off, either through manually touching the off lever or setting a pre paid amount, pull on pump handle & lift fuel hose above the fuel nozzle & the residue fuel in the hose will run freely out. It works here in Australia
That is what's called greed!
That is what's called her job. She's there to calibrate the pumps.
That's called bidenomics, in UK version. People forget how much America affects the world.
I read alot of excuses being made, when in reality theyre just ripping everyone off! Not just filling stations, fast food stores, designer clothes, streaming services, rents, the list goes on.
Maybe they're not ripping everyone off, and it's just a mistake? Or maybe, you're just very ignorant and stubborn!
You see that ?
"livriasin minimale 5 litres"
Well looks like only me and some other guy saw it and know what it means, it means they cant guarantee full accuracy under 5 litres
They measure at the base of the hose... Theres .14 liters left in the hose...
The liquid be looking like something else
There’s still a bunch in the hose. I don’t know where this is but in the US companies can’t calibrate anything, they aren’t allowed to.
In there is the sticker that says:
Purchase minimum 5 litres.
Gas pumps always have a deviation for small quantities.
not true, especially when selling by the liter. (USA = gallon)
That’s fraud that’s for sure illigal
Or you simply don't know how pump calibration works. Or he'll, even pump limits.
I was tested the same thing with 10l canister...gas station worker immediately come and stopped me not to do because of safety reason. they are criminals.
Admit it, you’re now thinking, “Is this happening at my local Gas Station?”
😂
Yep, that's exactly what I am thinking 🤔 you seem psychic
It’s is not a scam, there is just gas stuck in the hose.
Stephen that’s the whole point of the the video genius
Even if say the fuel stations are out 5% what consumer is going to care- but for a business that's 5% pure profits. I think there are huge incentives there for petrol stations for a little dodginess
You aren't counting what dripped on the ground and what is still in the hose.
Bro that drops and stored oil won't make 140ml, that's too much
Bro the drip won't make even 2 ml
That tiny drip is not 140ml no way
Oh come on no spillage and also so we give the service station owner free petrol ,were not that stupid.u would be a service station owner
That's why gasoline stations need to calibrate pumps every month
Gentlemen! The problem of gasoline quality is more painful for a car than the quantity in one liter! And unfortunately no one checks the quality at the proper level😂😂😂
Pump stations be scamming us daily 😢😢
@guki8015 she actually got more then what she paid for, she pours 1 liter of gas. But ended up getting 1.14 liters of gas
The real scam is investing in cars and infrastructure that require you to have cars instead of requiring you to be able to walk which is a normal thing mostly anyone can do unless you have disabilities and they spread everything out and keep us all divided to prevent us from waking up to the real problems and over throw the government
What’s unexpected about drivers being ripped off ??? It happens every single time we tank up !!!
Bottom right on the pump it says minimum delivery 5 litres, this means that there is no guarantee on below 5 litres being exact so you cannot sue you agree to this when starting the pump
Bollocks
@JP.708 it literally says it mate
Great discovery by this lady that Petrol kiosks are getting away without customers knowing they had been cheated. 👍👍👍
1. Not a test tube
2. What is the error range
3. Evaporation
4. Measuring cylinders are not accurate. Need a more accurate measuring device and under the conditions require to satisfy the measurement conditions per the ASTM requirements (or other national standard)
Spot on. These plastic molded cylinders are typically very inaccurate. This video proves absolutely nothing.
Some are off by a huge amount too. Remember pulling into a gas station years ago literally running on fumes. Car had a 17 gallon tank, and I stopped pumping when the gas pymp was reading almost 18 gallons dispensed & still going (fuel gauge in the car wasn't all the way to the F mark either).
It's common for gas guages to lie. That lessens the probability of running the tank dry. Aside from the possibility of pulling crap into your injectors, most gas pumps are in the gas tank where the gas dissipates the pump's heat. If the tank ran down, the pump would overrheat. I did that with a Mitsubishi Eclipse that had 125,000 miles on it. For the fuel pump, it was totaled.
Lawsuit ready!
Can't sue
For fuel calibration for us anyway, the company dispenses 100 gallons of fuel and compares his calibrated gauge on his tank to what our register shows what's been delivered.
Minimum delivery is usually more than 1litre. There are good reasons for that. Errors are always greater on startup of an lfmi. Not a calibrated measure anyway . Could be temp compensation too. UK typically will carry out testing at 5, 10 and 20l measures.
It says minimum delivery 5 litres on the pump
Reading (and understanding) offen helps a lot
14% discrepancy is rather large, even if adjusted for temperature and sample size.
It’s being calibrated. I worked for a gas station chain and I calibrated the pumps. Not everything on the internet is what it seems.
Call weights & measures
She is weights and measures 😂
The minimum Volume is 5 liters, stated right there under the blue sticker under the display at the end.
My guess is 1 liter is not enough for a good measurement, especially that slow stop and go she does to get it exact.
On 50 liters the discrepancy should be less or the same
Exactly. The pumps can’t be calibrated to such a low amount, plus there is fuel in the nozzle and line. They have that sticker for exactly that reason, they are calibrated for 5L and above.
gas pump stations are calibrated at 20 degrees Celsius, and with temperature changes, the volume changes (heat expands), which leads to imprecise measurements.
Gas expansion and contracts.. when we order gas for the pumps we had to take consideration for temperature… but oil companies are not that precise when dumping fuel in the service stations storage tanks.. yet if you go over a cent you are charged so they make more money at the pump
Several gas stations around me fill my car with a 12.5 gallon tank well over the size of the tank. And I'm on about a quarter tank. So it is possible to get ripped off.
Fuel expands and contracts with heat or cold as long as the pump falls within acceptable variation standards. Tip Fill up on cold days.
I have suspected that many uk filling stations have been doing this. Riding a motorcycle, you know exactly how much your tank holds.
I fill 2.5 gallon jugs all the time. It’s always spot on!!
We all dumb even after reading all the comments. We still dumb😂
It's called getting screwed at the pumps, nothing unusual about that!!!😢😅
Someone most probably tampered with the pumps. This is why the local government needs to do either frequent checks or make random surprise checks to catch the perpetrators.
Gasoline goes from liquid to gas fairly quickly. That's what you burn is the gas, not the liquid. That's why you have a fuel injector, which takes a small bit of liquid fuel, and that converts to a gas, which then ignites
I always wondered where that first 20p goes 😂
1, minimum quantity is for a reason.
2, there would be more liters on the pump, than would fit in your car and it would be noticed on day one...
The hose had been drained. So when the pump starts, it refills the hose plus the container.
Under normal use, there is always some in the hose.
No scam whatsoever.
Measuring cylinders are only for approximate measurements.
That is fruad at the gas station. That place will be shut down. Criminal charges will fallow. The owner is going to prison
+- 10% is legacy from the old mechanical pumps to compensate for inaccuracies. With electronic pumps are vey precise so the -10% is calculated and profitable.
The measuring cylinder was measured using distilled or de-ionized water. Fuel is a volatile substance and it gives off vapor.
Pumps are carefully calibrated and tested frequently, and flow accuracy starts around 5 liters in most cases due to how the pumps work. If you're going to get upset over something, do a little research before making noise. Don't trust everything you hear.
Diesel compreses & expands due to temperature. Nothing extraordinary about it.
You get 1 but pay for 1.14. Scammers are even major companies.
