    1st get petrol in a bottle(you should know how many liters it fills) and not directly into your vehicles tank,because it is tested and proved that almost every petrol bunk in India cheat in measurement,some less and some more in quantity.

    2nd

    so many people will come around you to ask to divert your attention from the meter,suppose its stop at 50/-for the person before you and if you asked for 100/- they will continue filling from 50/-and not make the reading 00/-(if not seen the reading carefully),so you will get 50 to 100 that is only 50/- but you have to pay 100/-.

    this will also not work if you get it filled in bottle and ask to fill for some liters(say 1.5 liters as you can get it in Pepsi bottle) and not to measure in Rs.

    3rd

    one person will ask you how much you want and make this reading zero in front of you but other person beside you whose machine reading is not zero will start filling your tank as you will not look at his machine because you were expecting the other person to fill.

    this will also not work if you use bottle.

    4th

    while giving change.for example you have given 500/- note and filled petrol for 200/-,he will have have to give 300 back that is 3 notes of 100,but he will give 2 notes that is 200 and tell you to move from the place fast,as other costumers are waiting to be filled,you will not get time to count change as you have said to move from the place.so come little front count it once and then proceed or tell him to be patient.

    5th

    some of the bunks mix kerosene in petrol.so for that you need to be careful,observe you vehicle that if there is smoke coming out,if your ride is smoother,yes quality of petrol effects your ride instantly.

    to check these things always fill petrol when min you have in tank is 1/2 liter,because if more amount is there in tank it will mix from the petrol you filled on recent bunk,and if the petrol you filled last time was good and this time its bad it will mix and you cannot make out which bunk was having bad petrol.

    after this test mark down the good quality bunks near your place in your mind and try to fill petrol from there only always.

    6th

    if you use oil in your vehicle watch carefully that the packet he is showing is new and filled because sometimes he will show you empty packet and tell you he has put oil.

    7th

    always keep your liter rage on your vehicle in working condition.so you can make out from there about the quantity of petrol,if you don't want to get petrol in bottle.

    if you are careful of these things,you are 100% safe.there is no other way they can cheat you.

    See the number as Zero on machine.

    get the petrol in early morning

    becouse at late time a lot of petrol become steam when it pouring in tank.

    on stopping machine/clutch, petrol of pipe should become empty itself.
