How many of us can be sure that we get the right quantity of fuel for the price we pay.All of us would say yes because there is a digital meter running in front of us indicating it.But now a petrol chip scam has been unearthed.What does it do?this chip when inserted into the fuelling device allows you to manipulate its inbuilt settings.
Which means if you pay Rs 100 your indicator will show you have fuelled for Rs100 but the quantity will be a 50ml or even more.Recently, a special task force raided suspected pumps in Uttar Pradesh and this new scam is confirmed.The chip can be installed only with the help of an engineer.
And moreover getting caught during inspections is also not possible as this chip functions with the remote, just like the one used in car locks.If the chip is locked then the actually quantity of the fuel will be drained out.This was even confirmed by a person works in a petrol bunk and confessed that one of the machines uses this chip.In Noida, an attendant at the popular Malik Filling Stati on,confessed that machines at his facility were altered to dispense five millilitre less on every litre of fuel.This scam has to be probed immediately as it brings in a lot of illegal profits.
