What Is Jump Trick: It's one of the methods commonly used at petrol pumps to cheat customers by dispensing less fuel against the purchase price.
Jump Trick
How Does It Work: When refueling starts, the fuel meter jumps directly from 0 to 10, 20, or even higher, instead of showing a gradual increase.
Jump Trick
Calibration of Machines: Petrol pumps may have machines set up to jump readings to make it look like more fuel is being pumped than actually is.
Jump Trick
Normal Reading: In normal conditions, the jump should not exceed Rs 4-5. If you see the reading jump significantly (like to Rs 20), it’s suspicious.
Jump Trick
What to Look For: Always watch the meter closely as soon as the refueling begins. If the reading jumps too much, question it.
