Cheating, the oldest job known to man. Time for the billionth new law?
If gasolene pumps were not verified randomly you would be cheated when
you fill your car, how do you know the home fuel delivery man doesnt
cheat you, if you are not there.
The home fuel delivery man inserts a card in a meter that stamps the
beginning and end of the pumping cycle. It shows how many gallons were
pumped to the hundreths of a gallon. He leaves that card stuck in your
kitchen door.



who checks/verifies the truck's meter?

At least the State has inspections and calibrates the gas pumps,puts a
sticker on the pump right where you can see it.

Fuel delivery trucks are checked a yearly, at least, by the state with a
calibrated device, adjusted, and sealed.
