A Caltex fuel dispenser has been put under maintenance after a customer reported the meter continued running even after he had stopped pumping petrol into his motorbike's fuel tank, Chevron Singapore said in a statement to Stomp.

They are investigating the matter.

Several Stompers alerted Stomp to a video taken by the customer at a Caltex petrol station at Upper Serangoon on Wednesday (Apr 24).

In the video, the customer records the meter running even when he had stopped filling his vehicle's tank with petrol.

He warns others to "be careful" of the issue.

The video ends after a woman believed to be the station's manager arrives to see what the problem is.

In response to a Stomp media query, a Chevron spokesman said that the affected fuel dispenser has been put under maintenance and other dispensers at the station were found to have no issues.

She added that other Caltex service stations are being checked as well as a precautionary measure.
