Fellow Tsikoteers...i reviewed the pictures i've posted & the video that i took...

i think the pump was not malfunctioning but scotch tape was covering the value of the price instead of 47.98 to make it look like 41.98

i almost believed what the owner said that the pump is malfunctioning.

If the actual price was P41.98, and you purchased 64.615 liters, that amounts to P2712.54.

The P3100.23 is for a price of P47.98 per liter, for the same amount of fuel purchased.

Since the actual price is lower, then you should have just paid P2712.54. It is not malfunctioning, but maybe whoever calibrated it, didn't check the second 41.98, and it was all human error in terms of inputing the correct values.

thats a correct observation, the pump was not malfunctioning at all the wrong value is placed 47.98, now the question lies why did they put a scotch tape to mimic the price of 41.98 price & i'm the 3rd one who complained in that same day.

Maybe they haven't figured it out yet. See if telling them about it will resolve the scotch tape issue. Then drop by to check up on them see if the tape is still there.

If they intentionally keep the tape then that's another matter, but if it was an honest mistake then we can let it slide this time.

Another solution is to contact the owner, Edmund Uy, as per your previous post with his response, and discuss the matter with him. Hopefully it won't happen again. If what he said is true, then they cannot alter the calibration of the pump, but somebody from the city hall should come by and remedy his mistake.
