Underfilling of fuel at Russian gas stations exceeded the norm by two to three times, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said. At the same time, the number of gas stations convicted of such violations amounted to two-thirds of all.

“According to the results of inspections in 2019 in the Central Federal District when measuring the filling of 10 l with an exemplary measuring device with a rate of not more than 25 ml, the actual under-filling was from 50 to 90 ml,” TASS quoted the Ministry of Industry and Trade on November 18.
The Ministry indicated that at a rate of filling of 50 l, the underfilling was about 200-300 ml, while the norm was 125 ml.
