We have all long been accustomed to the fact that fuel is poured into the car by gas station employees at every self-respecting gas station. Moreover, in some cases the driver does not even have to leave the car: mobile applications help with this. However, you should not entrust this procedure to tankers, and here, in fact, why.
First of all, there is the risk of encountering a banal underfilling. No, in terms of the number of liters, of course, everything will be “smooth” at the dispenser, but whether everything will get into the fuel tank is a big question. While the car owner washes his hands or pays for “fuel” at the checkout, tankers often pour a few gallons into a pre-hidden jerry can to supply themselves with “free” gasoline.
But even without such tricks, gas station employees can spoil a motorist’s mood. Very often, tankers are careless and pour petrol over the bodywork, posing a risk of paint damage.
Likewise, if not more common, are situations where personnel are scratching the inside of the fuel filler flap in failed attempts to quickly put a gun in their mouth.
By the way, gas station employees who are in a hurry often forget to close the gas tank hatch. But it is much worse if the lid is not screwed on. However, these are still flowers compared to the fact that the tanker in a hurry or due to banal fatigue will confuse the fuel to be poured into the car. We believe that it is not necessary to tell how this can end for the owner.
In general, when you fill up a car at a gas station, you fill the tank with fuel yourself. As they say, stay away from sin. Otherwise, keep a close eye on the actions of the staff. And, by the way, it is not at all necessary to give “tips” to employees – each of the employees of the filling complex receives a salary.
By the way, do you know what to do if the gas station is occupied by a car, but the driver is not in it? The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you how to free up space to drive to the fuel terminal: click here for more information.
