E-Pump , the startup focused on automating filling stations is pivoting and we need your help.

Our new product on launch will be focused on preventing car owners from being cheated when they buy fuel. The new product will prevent you from being cheated by

  1. Filling station managers
  2. Filing station attendant
  3. Drivers sent to buy fuel

Please can you share your experience or any persons experience as it relates to being shortchanged while fueling. This will help us evolve our product to solve as many possible challenges as possible.

General advice for E-Pump are also welcome.

Thanks

Filling station attendants have cheated me in 1. Pressing the pump frequently so as to keep some of the fuel from dropping completely. 2. Another instance is that you tell them you want to buy 5ltrs and the lady/guy sells 4.5ltrs for you in the name of am going to have issues with giving you complete change, (because of the amount she wanted to take from me for bringing a keg to the filling station). So she would help me rounding the value and the price up the way she likes.
That thing usually gets me angry.

I hope your product can bring about a solution to this matter. I am sure others can relate to this too.

Just make sure Otedola, Ifeanyi Ubah or anyone else in the O&G cabal don’t get wind of this because they’ll surely take your product down.

We are operating at the filling station level. Otedolas and co are not the ones cheating at that level, they cheat mostly at the jetty level

Looks like scenario 2 is something you consented to for it to happene

Don’t be too presumptive. In some instances they could be acting on the order of the oga at the top. Everyone’s desperate to cut corners in these fraught times.

I will substitute otedola for station owner in this case. We have a carrot for them in our solution, they will be willing to partner us on serving their customers better

I will drop some tricks, perhaps you will have some dejavu moment.

You tell attendant sell N5000 fuel, he sells ans stops at N1000 and you ask why. He says he heard you mention N1000 not N5000. So he sells the remaining N4000.

What really happened

The first N1000 was faux. he didn’t sell it to you, he had sold it to someone else and merely used the recall function on the pump to display the transaction. In essence, you just lost 20% of your fuel budget to the attendant
