Well,, I just assumed it was the pumps cavitation, it would pump air, then gas, then air.. and eventually just nothing... but I wondered why the $$ would ring up without fuel flow... as I also assumed there was a flow meter,, like the old pumps with the spinner in the glass bulb..
as for customer complaining.. well.. they put signs on all the pumps as I was leaving... out of order... and the other station confirmed , so I assumed I was being told the truth..
lol
but assuming is what a con artist wants me to do... soooooo.... I don't know who to believe any more.. it is a conspiracy to get at my money!!
on the calibration... twice [different stations] I knew I was almost out of gas.. just made it to a station... and put in 68 L ... in a tank I had measured to confirm it was 60 L... and the hose is only about 10in long,, so it might hold a liter..
that is greater than 10 percent error,,, and unacceptable... but I just didn't have the time or effort to contact measurement canada..
this was recently too.. with electronic pumps... I know there was tricks they did to the mechanical pumps to screw the customer.. but usually not self serve stations..
one thing measurement canada found in the fishing industry... the weigh scale was near the dock.. the display was at the scale house... so they would use 2way radio's to indicate they had put XX kilo on the scale... and they found the scale would read accurate ... until the radio was transmitting... so the scale house could key a 2way radio ,, and it would read 1000 kg lower...... good for the buyer! not the fisherman selling his catch! ... I am sure they have ensured this has been fixed...
