That is probably a good example of why he is an instructor and does not make a living in the real world.
The positive displacement volumetric meter used to measure fuel at the pumps is very accurate, very predictable, simple and holds calibration for a long time.
It would make allot more sense to question the accuracy of your 5 gallon can.
