Quickly assess your gas dispenser’s accuracy and see the real revenue impact.
In North Dakota’s fuel industry, even a small meter drift can cost you thousands in lost profits—or land you in hot water with the ND PSC. Use this free tool to input your monthly gallons sold, measured cubic inch deviation per 5 gallons dispensed, and current fuel price. Positive deviation = giving away fuel (lost revenue); negative = shorting customers (compliance risk).
How It Works: This calculator uses the industry-standard conversion: 1 cubic inch deviation per 5 gallons dispensed ≈ 346 gallons drift per 100,000 gallons sold. For example, a typical meter off by just 4 cubic inches per 5 gallons can lead to 1,384 gallons over-dispensed yearly across a few nozzles—triggering PSC inspections and potential fines.
Pro Tip: ND regulations require annual meter testing to stay within ±0.3% tolerance. Spot issues early to avoid fines and downtime.
