Seems as though the big sellers of exchange tanks are not filling

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.


but that's not what meters the gas going into your car's tank,and
determining how much you pay.

the delivery trucks are the stations concern,not the end consumer.

You are responding to posts about the "home fuel delivery man" who
brings a truck of fuel to a house. The meters on the delivery truck
going to the house are certainly of concern to the end consumer.
