A driver with 30 years of experience refueled and shuddered at the CASH BON

A Plovdiv resident filled 40 and a half liters of gas, and his bottle has never held more than 37 liters, he said. “This case is a precedent for me, even though I have been driving on gas for over 30 years,” Vlasi Tonkov was quoted as saying. trafficnews.bg.

“According to documents, my gas cylinder is 39 liters, but I have never been filled with more than 37 liters, even when it was completely empty. I have refueled at all gas stations, but this is the first time something like this has happened to me. The gas station where I stopped refueling is “Eco” on Hristo Botev Boulevard in Plovdiv.

Naturally, I had some fuel left and I didn’t go with an empty gas cylinder. After seeing that they charged me 10% more than the capacity, I asked the staff for an answer on how this is possible.

I was told to wait and after a while a manager called me and explained that the valve on my bottle was probably broken and the problem was in my car. I know that gas cylinders are not filled to the brim and that the air temperature is important, but it is logical that in warmer weather the gas expands and the charged amount is less, even if I have a problem in my cylinder. I have a feeling that the more expensive the fuels, the more they start lying to us, “Tonkov said.

An expert on car gas systems also gave an opinion on the subject, explaining that every time we fill up with propane-butane, especially “up”, we must be sure that the safety valve, which limits the filling of the gas cylinder to 80% of its total volume, is upright and functioning properly.

He drew attention to the fact that ensuring its technical serviceability is a personal obligation and that its serviceability can not and is not checked during the GTP of the car. Limiting capacity to 80% is mandatory by security measures. During refueling, attention should be paid to the pressure gauge and the pressure with which the gas cylinder itself is filled, because at higher pressures it is normal to read and refuel.

He also explained that such discrepancies are possible and depend on many different factors, but the first thing to check is whether there is a problem with the valve in question.

BLITZ reminds that there was another one a few days ago scandalous case in Sofia, at another chain of gas stations, in which the column reported nearly 80 stotinki only when removing the gun from the socket.
