Petrol Pump Secret: Before filling oil at the petrol pump, definitely look at the 3 numbers written on the screen, otherwise there can be a loss of thousands. Know what those numbers are…
Petrol Purity Check Numbers: Do you also park your car at a petrol pump and just say ‘full tank’ and not even look at the machine? If yes, then change this habit from today. There are some numbers written on the petrol-diesel filling machine, which most people never read carefully. This carelessness becomes heavy on your pocket every month. Next time you go to fill oil in your bike or car, do check the 3 numbers written on the screen of the machine. These 3 numbers decide whether for the money you are paying, you are getting genuine and pure oil or adulterated oil. Let us tell you what those numbers are and why it is important to check them…
How much did Naira make the prices of petrol and diesel cheaper?
The country’s largest private oil company Nayara Energy has reduced its rates drastically. Petrol has been made cheaper by ₹5 per litre. There has also been a big reduction of ₹ 3 per liter in diesel. After this cut, oil has become cheaper at Naira Energy petrol pumps in many cities.
What are those ‘3 numbers’ seen on the petrol machine?
When the petrol pump attendant inserts the nozzle into the car, look carefully at the screen of the petrol machine. There you will see Density written. If understood in simple way, it is a scale to measure the ‘thickness’ of the oil or its purity. Every morning the petrol pump owners update this number. Its correct range has been fixed by the government. If the number shown on the machine is out of this range, then understand that the oil is adulterated, which can ruin your vehicle’s engine in a moment.
What number do you need to check in the machine?
For petrol, the density number on the screen of the machine should be between 720 to 775 and while filling diesel, this number should be between 820 to 860. If you do not see the density number at the petrol pump or zero (0) is written there, then you can immediately refuse to fill the oil and complain to the pump manager. This is your legal right.
