Fuel pump inaccurate

eamon

hi, I’ve just put fuel in my car at a Gulf station. My car has a 90 litre tank and had about 10 still in it. I apparently put just shy of 95 litres in so I complained to the attendant who said I needed to pay and they would contact me when they looked in to it. He didn’t want to give me the receipt but I eventually got a duplicate. When I got in the car it was only half full! I have taken photos and a video showing the pump and my gauge. My question is who do I contact to complain about this, is It trading standards? Thanks

Unfortunately I haven’t and as a taxi driver I’m not allowed to carry fuel cans! Strange but I don’t know why

Trading standards. If you got a 5 litre fuel can,  go back to the pump and fill it with 5 litres of fuel,  will soon show if something dodgy is going on.

Where are you? Perhaps I could go and fill up a Jerry can.

I’ve just emailed my local TS to see what to do. Not sure if they will be able to help as the garage is at dordon near Tamworth and I am in Leicestershire
