Suspected problems and irregularities in the ranks are the winners of complaints in the first half

The irregularities in the fuel pumps of the posts were the main target of consumer complaints to the Office of Weights and Measures (Ipem-SP) in the first half of this year. From January to June, 282 complaints were recorded on the instrument, 32.5% of the total of 868 calls made by the national ombudsman.

Based on these records, the SP-Ipem inspections conducted at various gas stations and issued 27 violation reports (10.5%) for errors in the bombs that did the consumer pay more for less fuel at the time of supply. In addition to complaints, routine inspections and in special operations, the SP-Ipem found 41,981 fuel pumps in the first half of this year and 7.54% were rejected. The period, 283 jobs were sued for malpractice.

The superintendent of Ipem-SP, Fabiano Marques de Paula, reveals that the Ombudsman receives many complaints about the quality of fuel - which is not reviewed by the agency, but by the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). To improve this, is already scheduling a meeting with the ANP to intensify the monitoring stations in Sao Paulo and to allow the SP-Ipem also monitor fuel quality. "Today we see only the suitability of the bombs, but our technicians have all the conditions to verify the quality of gasoline," he explains.

Meters (118 complaints) and balance of shops (58) rounded out the top three products that received more complaints in Ipem-SP first half.
