Dermocyma Neutral Newbie January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 its a game of probability. there is no magic technology. to put it in a perspective of common logic and operating cost, 1. fuel displacement over tank size ratio measurement is never accurate by any machine means of estimation. it only creat more false alarm. 2. walking over to check ur fuel gauge display is definitely cheaper in terms of operating cost. the only admirable thing is the ERP gantry-like line of cameras before u reach the checkpoint which looks over all the cars in the queue. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroonws Clutched January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 JB does it for RM100+. Turn on via remote control, so no extra switch to give it away. If you wanna do, do it smart. Dun be those goondoos who drive until no petrol then go in to pump. Custom may see your needle above 3/4, they can also see the warning light for low fuel. I will do the switch for the purpose of forgetting to pump or jam until needle fall below 3/4 mark. Kena once coz needle was 2mm below the 3/4 mark, due to the jam. Anyway, have u notice that nowadays they stop checking the needle, but instead look at a screen built into the desk? Ppl tell me it is some xray gadget to see your petrol level in the tank. Kind of unbelievable.... Can anyone verify? Kana even its just 2mm below the 3/4 mark? I always go in with slightly above the 1/2 mark... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of unbelievable.... Can anyone verify? dont do in JB lah. I heard...if workers need cash, they just report your licence plate no to the authorities. Else, you never know who are the other customers at the JB shop....could be some customs officer hanging around the JB workshops and taking notice. Best....dont do. Just go in with empty tank. If kenna caught...usual fine is only $150, though max is $500. Can recover with 2 tankfull of petrol. hehe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trex101 3rd Gear January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 Anyone can recommend workshops to 'modify' the fuel needle? Not worth the risk lah, just go early in the morning at 5am can already. I doubt anyone will check the needle at this time of the day. Remember what was taught in the Army, 3am-5am is where the human mind is at the weakest.

Mubarakrashid Neutral Newbie January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 Anyone can recommend workshops to 'modify' the fuel needle? My dear friend, this is not a wise move... Better save the summon money for petrol!!! If have to do it, then bear full consequence... how about the jail term and the confiscation of your car..?

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 This is the most dumb question I ve seen asked on this forum also, by a dumb-arse trying saying $$...penny wise pound foolish. To the starter, pls dont post this type of nonsense here, it will only teach more people to try n cheat like you. If u drive car drive until so giam-siap, then drive for what. Use kerosene instead of petrol then. U are a disgrace to Singapore. I hv a suggestion for the thread starter to get more petrol from JB n yet no need to meddle eith yr fuel indcator needle n get caught. Want to know? Aiya I tell u lah.... Bring 10 jerry cans along, and whatever mineral water bottles u can find. Fill with petrol n bring back. If ask what is that then just say tiger beer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shull Turbocharged January 5, 2007 Share January 5, 2007 i am guessing that they may have a table which shows the range of weight based on the no of passengers + likely load etc etc..you can only carry that much things inside your boot.. if the net weight shows somehow does not tally the table, then its time to check your fuel gauge.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
