Why Calibrate?

Faulty or inaccurate meters can cost you thousands of dollars per year even when they are within the allowed State tolerances issued by the Office of Weights and Measures. Worn meters typically over-deliver, as the wear allows the gasoline to pass through without being metered. Most states allow a tolerance of +/- 6 cubic inches per 5 gallons pumped. If your meters are averaging no more than 1 cubic inch plus per 5 gallons pumped, then you are giving gas away for FREE.

If you are 1 cubic inch over on a meter you will be giving away free 1 gallon of your gas per 1000 gallons pumped. This doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but if you pump only 80,000 gallons per month that’s 960,000 gallons per year—you will lose at least 960 gallons of gas. That’s well over $3000 per year on a small pumping station. How much can you afford to lose? Fortunately, you don’t need wait for the Weights and Measures officer to check the accuracy of your meters. Bullseye Calibration can do this for you and fix it at the same time.
