Suppose ur friend works at that pump, then..so try and a make rapport, atleast act.
Most guys are uneducated, just be friendly, tip them once in a while. And then once you win their trust, they will not cheat you.
Just tell or bluff like that petrol pump last time they cheated you, did u see news those guys wer caught, ask him jokingly hope u guys r gud, question him how exactly the fuel works, once in a while ask him to give the nozzle to you etc. Hey how was the match yesterday, where wer u last week,
Oops I will pay 2 mro buddy, forgot wallet etc....
Second you can ask them to lock the fuel gun and them tell to fill up, and stop only once when the lock triggers. Tell them to hold it NOT too inside the fuel tank because this will trigger the lock unnecessarily if the nozzle touches the fuel in the tank.
Avoid petrol pumps at Highway or lonely places, these people will mostly rig the fuel machine or adulterate the fuel.
Try Shell pumps only.
Make sure you identify and fill petrol at the pumps you are familiar and established rapport with.
So by now you know which pumps give u rite fuel for ur money.
Plan and fill regularly at these places as you would have made rapport at these places.
You can follow the rules, make a complaint online or call the media etc but do these only if you are sure of stopping the issue at the pump and biting the bullet till the end and hope no backlashes in the future.
Coz it's simple, the oil companies know the pump is doing it, cops know it, the pump owner knows, it, the big shots of our country know about it, the rich , powerful people know it.
So raise the issue if u can completely stop and change the system at the petrol pump else be smart. If not that pump find another pump and I m sure uve friends in life though uve enemies, similarly I m sure u can make friends with atleast 4 petrol pumps, be smart and patient.
The reason they do this is fuel is now a low margin business, the guys are paid peanuts, they are not educated, have low incomes, off course it's wrong but u questioning them also is not going to work always. So tip them once in a while.
Avoid peak hours if you wanted to be cheated less.
Take a can or bottle and go. Park ur vehicle nearby, take a walk at weekends with the can, send ur buddy with the bottle and u be nearby and unnoticed.
Demand for machine bill that comes from the petrol dispensing machine itself, I m not telling about cash receipts or bill for your card payment.
The machine bill will show the density and how much fuel is exactly dispensed by the nozzle. It is tough to rig the machine.
MOST IMPORTANTLY SHARE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW.
Inspite of all this you will still be cheated but that would 1 in 10 times.sodont wry, its like how u dint study for ur board exam or how u lost a 100 rupee that day. So once a while it's fine. If there is good bad will exist in this world. Question is how much of bad you want to face. And over few years this problem will still exist but not by a large margin.....just imagine
