shell petrol

I have purchased petrol from a shell garage recently and I filled with 35 litres which normally fills my tank, but it was only just over half full, my friend has also noticed this more than once. Does the petrol industry have a regulatory body I can go to, have tried shell but so far no joy.

Petrol stations of all brands are regually checked by trading standards to ensure their pumps are giving the correct amount of fuel.
Is your fuel gauge accurate?"Love you Dave Brooker! x"

pretty sure, never had problems before, seems strange that my friend has had the same issue from the same garage

Are you sure you got 35 litres, not 35 half litres.
Some garages did a (quite legal !) "fiddle" with their pumps. Because the pump couldn't cope with petrol at over 100p per litre the pumps were changed to give fuel at 50p per half litre, etc, etc. This should have only been a fairly short-lived stop-gap measure however.0 -

If you live closer to a Shell Refinery then you'll be getting Shell fuel whether you buy it from Tesco, Asda, Esso, Total etc.The man without a signature.0
