They were ensuring the amount of fuel being given was the amount stated at the pump
Trading standards officers have been inspecting forecourts across Nottinghamshire to ensure they are delivering the right amount of petrol and diesel. The officers have been ensuring the amount of fuel being given is the amount that is stated at the pump, which can often not be the case if forecourts are running deficient nozzles.
But the trading standards officers say less than 3% of the nozzles they tested were found to be giving less fuel than stated at the pump. Those petrol station owners who did have faulty equipment have now fixed them and are therefore delivering legal measures again. The largely positive findings came despite one forecourt in Bilsthorpe operating a pump that dated back to 1971. Councillor John Cottee, Cabinet Member for Communities at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: "By carrying out these checks we can reassure residents that they are getting their money's worth in Nottinghamshire, which is crucial at a time when costs are rising.
Those who have concerns about goods or services they receive from a business in Nottinghamshire can report it to Nottinghamshire Trading Standards by calling the Citizens Advice helpline on 0808 223 1133.
