In the case where pictures appear on the news, people share clips to tell stories. Filling up diesel fuel for 1,000 baht at a service station and noticed that the car’s gas gauge was not rising normally. and called for inspection
Afterwards, the service station carried out an inspection according to the clip shown. When squeezing the hand to dispense 5 liters 2 times, there was a loss of approximately 25-30 milliliters of oil (or 0.025 – 0.030 liters per 5 liters of oil tested), which the foreground employee explained that it still meets the criteria. “Manual for inspection and certification of fuel volume meters” of the Bureau of Weights and Measures that is specified to have “Remaining allowance rate”
Mr. Peeraphan Saleerathavibhag, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, posted a message via his personal Facebook page stating, “Yesterday afternoon, I received a report about a gas station dispensing gasoline. To the people who use the service, it is not full according to the liter. After checking, it was found that the Ministerial Regulations of the Ministry of Commerce allow this to be the case.
I saw that this was only a matter of measurement according to ministerial regulations. After all, gas stations should compensate users for the full number of liters they paid for. Because the payment for gas is a full payment according to the number of liters, not a contingency payment.
I will include this issue in the amendments to the fuel trade law that are currently in progress. I see that the current law has many loopholes in supervision.
In particular, the power of the minister to solve problems for the people, as in this case, is really very little. However, I have issued a letter ordering the Chief Executive Officer and President of PTT Public Company Limited to resolve this matter immediately. He also ordered the Director-General of the Department of Energy Business, which oversees gas stations throughout the country, to immediately resolve the problem according to his authority. By entrusting another layer of supervision to my chief advisor.
I would like to assure the citizens that the Ministry of Energy in this era will definitely not neglect the problems of the people. and will try to solve the problem to the best of our ability under the current law. Next, I will amend the law to cover various problems completely.
That’s why I said that our energy problem is not just about adjusting the structure, but it requires dismantling the entire system.”
