Knowledge of test mode, reset code and other machine codes is important to prevent possible theft at petrol pumps. Know how you can stay alert
You must have often heard complaints of getting less fuel or overpricing at petrol pumps. But do you know that these frauds can be caught with the help of some special codes present in the machine? Next time when you get fuel filled, it is important to pay attention to these 5 codes:
🔹 1. Test mode code
With this code, an accurate measurement of 5 liters is taken out from the machine. Stealing pumps often avoid this test. The customer can check it by getting it done himself.
🔹 2. Reset code
It is necessary to reset the machine before every transaction. If the attendant does not do this, then the previously filled quantity may get added, causing loss to the customer.
🔹 3. Fast delivery mode
In this mode, the fuel comes out fast, but the measurement may be less. Many times the pump operators take wrong advantage of this mode.
🔹 4. Price adjustment code
With this code, the rate can be changed immediately. At some places, it is misused to charge more money from the customer.
🔹 5. Audit and History Code
This code shows all the old entries of the machine. Theft pumps try to hide or delete this data.
✅ What should customers do?
Demand a 5-litre test measurement every time
Check the zero reading of the machine
Pay attention to the speed of delivery
Do not forget to take the receipt
Institutions like Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil, and HPCL have appealed to the customers to be cautious about these things. Only aware customers can get safe and accurate service.
