A new technology promises to increase safety and transparency in fuel measurements at gas stations in Brazil, putting an end to the “low pump” scam. It is a fuel pump with an encrypted digital signature, launched by the company Dover Fueling Solutions and installed at a Shell station in the city of São João do Meriti, in Rio de Janeiro.
This pump has an intelligent meter that generates a unique digital signature with each fill, allowing you to verify the authenticity of transactions. Furthermore, it enables easy access to all relevant information via Bluetooth connection on a mobile device, such as the exact amount of fuel filled and the maintenance history.
The equipment complies with the new Metrological Technical Regulation (RTM) established by the National Institute of Weights and Measures, Inmetro, which aims to prevent fraud such as the “low pump”, in which the device delivers less fuel than is shown on the display. hurting the consumer, who ends up receiving less liters than he paid.
According to Dover Fueling Solutions, this is the first pump in the Brazilian market to meet the new RTM and the expectation is that more stations will adopt this technology soon. The pump with an encrypted digital signature is a beneficial innovation for both consumers and inspectors, as it ensures greater reliability and transparency in fuel measurements.
The expectation is that more Brazilian gas stations will adopt the equipment, but so far only the Shell unit located in Rio operates with the Helix 5000 pump.
