Hi BW, It's not the equipment you have to worry about, it's the owner/operator. I "had" a friend that owned a popular mini-mart, sold about 100,000gal month. When he retired he told he had found a way to set the electronics on the pumps to read 2-10th/gal shy of actual gallons. Since he was a independant the fuel supplier had no indication he was cheating. When the State inspector came to spot check, all he had to do was to flip one switch and the pumps read correct. To be able to retire, he had to fire all his help and he and his wife ran the place for two years pumping money back into the books so he could sell the bizz for true face value and not what he was skimming. Why he ever told me that I'll never know, but that was the last day I ever saw him. He died a year latter on the golf course from a heart attack. T_Bone
