However, in a TikTok video he posted, the man, Sotipanky, shared his frustration because the fuel he got was small.
He said he was thinking that the five litres he bought would fill up the five-litre container he took to the filling station, but that did not happen.
He said:
“So yesterday, I went to a fuel station to go and buy fuel. I carried five-liters keg. When I went there, I told the lady I want to buy five liters. Do you know that she gave me five liters of fuel and that five liters no full the five liters keg.”
Sotipanky said he saw a Chinese man who had also come to buy fuel at the station.

He said the Chinese man monitored the dispensing meter very closely, as it appeared he did not trust the pump attendant.
