Your mind works in mysterious ways.
Another possible answer is that the meter only starts once the oil leaves the pump nozzle, not the tanker. Actually this would make more sense now that I think of it!
The customer does not get charged for any more than what passes through the metre.
The oil is metered as it leaves the truck.
But - The hose is constantly full (and holds approx 80 litres).
Don't think this is correct, as pointed out by Mercman some wagons carry more than one type of fuel (kerosene/diesel/agri fuel) and sometimes have to suck fuel in pipe back into tanker.
If the next customer wants another product, the change must be made at just the right time to ensure that the current customer gets only the correct product.
The hosepipe on the truck is never empty. It is full when the truck arrives and it is full when the truck leaves.
Now we are getting somewhere. So if Customer A wants Agri Fuel and Customer B wants Road Diesel, they are both paying for for a Hose full of Fuel but not neccessarily receiving it.
