The majority of people, especially if the car is needed to go to work, dedicate an important part of the salary in gasoline (or diesel, failing that). In fact, it is quite feared that moment in which, already in the reserve, we see how in the supplier the amount of euros to be paid does not stop up. Something that is also lived in this month of August during vacation trips. Now, have you ever wondered if they have thrown us exactly the fuel we have paid for?
If so, you can know. And there is a test, which by law should allow you to do in any gas station, with which you can check it live. This has explained Joseba Barrenengoa, founder of Easygas, a network of service stations. “When we have asked the gas station for 50 liters, do we have the full conviction that they have thrown us 50 liters? And if they have thrown us 45?” He begins by raising.

On this, in the event that someone has thought about it, warns that “the car level probe” does not give you for 3 or 5 liters “, so it cannot be verified through this method. Therefore, it warns that“ here the scam is coming. ”The good news is that there is a solution for when there are doubts, which is the test of the specimen, which has explained in the podcast ‘to the podcast’ to the podcast ‘.
“It is available to all customers”
Whenever there are doubts, about whether they have thrown us the amount we have paid, Joseba Barrenengoa explains that “there is an element called the specimen that is available to all customers to be able to do it.”
As he explains, “it is a crystal flask with a neck where it measures 10 liters. The specimen is mandatory at the time you ask, to do it to you, and they have to do it in the gun where you have replaced.” On the latter, he adds that it is important that it is at the Mass, because if you could not go to another: “The same is manipulated and that no.”
It also details that “they have to do it on the spot.” As for the results, “if it coincides, perfect. But if you are below, you have to make a complaint,” explaining that in the latter case the gas station “will have an inspection.” An unknown method that everyone should know, as Barrenengoa expresses: “People have to know that that tool exists.”
On the Easygas website, they explain that this verification takes the same time as a habitual refueling: “You just have to set the liters in the supplier and deposit them in the specimen. Most likely, the result is the same and therefore, there has been no manipulation. Otherwise, you can proceed to put a complaint to the company,” they detail in it.
As for the case of fraud, they also warn that the consequences are very serious, explaining that “large amounts of money have been placed and even closing service stations”.
