I told them not to play here and they never listened. Don't play play with fuel gauge!

3rd caught for tampered gauge
By Melissa Pang
SINGAPORE Customs has charged a third motorist in three months for tampering with fuel gauges.
Muhammad Ali Putra Hairom, 24, was found guilty of not having the minimum amount of motor spirit in his vehicle's fuel tank, and giving false information to an officer inspecting the fuel gauge of his vehicle.
He was caught on Oct 7 with a tampered fuel gauge at Woodlands Checkpoint. His car fuel gauge indicated a full tank, but close examination showed that that the fuel gauge had been tampered with. The actual amount of fuel was also only at the one-quarter mark.
Further investigations revealed that Muhammad Ali had used a remote control to change the fuel gauge reading, and he was aware of the three-quarter tank rule.
For both offences, the Singaporean was fined $500 and sentenced to two weeks' jail respectively on Oct 8.
Since 2006, Singapore Customs has successfully prosecuted six persons for tampering with their car fuel gauges. In the same period, more than 7,200 motorists have been fined for not having at least three-quarter tank of patrol when leaving Singapore.
