Inspection teams Ipem-SP (Institute of Weights and Measures of the State of São Paulo) autuaram 3 of the 22 gas stations checked on Thursday during operation "Black Box".
Of the 315 fuel pumps inspected, 304 were approved, 11 disapproved and 7 reported.
"The whole operation is important, regardless of whether or not the results indicate a large amount of fraud. Presence of extensive surveillance is the balance we are concerned for the consumer," said José Tadeu Rodrigues Penteado, superintendent of IPEM-SP.
In addition to fining the posts, the IPEM-SP clears the responsibility of the workshops responsible for the maintenance of the pumps that have irregularities. If any irregularity is confirmed, these establishments may have their permit revoked.
Posts sued by IPEM-SP have ten days to file a defense. After that, the institute defines the fine, which can vary between R$ 100 and R$ 1.5 million.
