Fuel Price: Man Frustrated After Buying 5 Litres of PMS and Discovering The Quantity is Small

• A man who went to buy fuel at a filling station shared his interesting experience, as he said the quantity was too small
• The man said he went to the filling station with a five-litre container, and his intention was to buy five litres of fuel
• After buying the fuel, he discovered that the quantity was small and that it did not even fill the container he brought

The cost of fuel in Nigeria frustrated a man who went to a filling station to buy five litres.

The man said he had gone to the filling station carrying a five-litre container, hoping to fill it with petroleum motor spirit.

However, in a TikTok video he posted, the man, Sotipanky, shared his frustration because the fuel he got was small.

He said he was thinking that the five litres he bought would fill up the five-litre container he took to the filling station, but that did not happen.

He said:

"So yesterday, I went to a fuel station to go and buy fuel. I carried five-liters keg. When I went there, I told the lady I want to buy five liters. Do you know that she gave me five liters of fuel and that five liters no full the five liters keg."

Sotipanky said he saw a Chinese man who had also come to buy fuel at the station.

He said the Chinese man monitored the dispensing meter very closely, as it appeared he did not trust the pump attendant.
