Every time a customer refuels their vehicle, you have a chance to dispense fuel, and small volumes per transaction have a significant impact on profit margins. Typical fuel meters give extra fuel as they lose accuracy with wear. The cost of meter slippage over time can be tens of thousands of dollars worth of fuel damage.
The restrictive nature of standard meters hinders rapid fuel flow, meaning consumers take longer to refuel. If customers go to a competitor while your fuel guns are busy, revenue is lost as a result. Conventional meters also require periodic recalibration to re-establish accuracy, which incurs another operational cost.
Fuel retailers have hitherto considered these significant costs a necessary business expense because there was little that could be done about them. You no longer have to tolerate fuel loss and slow flow rates as the cost of doing business.
