About 175 petrol stations can sell fuel with withdrawn measuring systems
About 175 petrol stations can keep selling fuel even though the certificates for their measuring systems have been withdrawn.
What it means for you
If you fill up at one of these stations, the amount shown on the pump may not be correct. The equipment must have a valid metrological verification certificate and pass an extra check within 10 calendar days of the decision being published. The State Inspectorate for Supervision of Non-Food Products and Consumer Protection will shut down equipment that does not meet these conditions.
What happened
About 175 petrol stations, more than a quarter of all stations in the country, can keep selling fuel while they replace their measuring systems. The National Crisis Management Commission made the decision after inspectors found faulty equipment that may show the wrong amount of fuel delivered. Operators have at most 20 calendar days from submitting a replacement plan, after which stations will be suspended if the faults are not fixed.
In short
- The Court of Appeal confirmed the withdrawal of the certificates on 7 October 2026.
- The Commission allowed equipment already in use to operate temporarily from 21 October.
- Operators must publish on their websites a list of stations with faulty equipment within five calendar days.
- Maximum fuel prices remain capped under the current mechanism.
