Routine Gas Station Inspection – Passed with Flying Colors
The Rockland County Consumer Protection Division of Weights and Measures conducted a thorough inspection at a local gas station as part of our annual compliance checks.
What do we inspect? Accuracy of fuel quantity delivered & correct total price computation. Using certified test measures, inspectors pumped 5 gallons of gas to verify pumps are dispensing within NIST Handbook 44 tolerance standards. Once verified, all fuel is returned to the tanks. View the video here.
This station passed with flying colors – protecting both consumers and businesses alike!
