Warning to those with....
tampered fuel gauge...
Extracted from another forum....
*Please any brothers and sisters here got any info. What's the penalty and/or procedures when someone is being held at customs for meddling with fuel gauge? A friend of mine was just being held in lockup. *
*do not know what will the punishment be, depending on the charge. Procedure wise, usually, he will be allowed to contact someone to bail him out from the police station. And would be informed immediately that he'll be charged in court on what date and told of the bail amount. Need to prepare the bail amount in cash so as to bail him out from court. If no one bail him out by afternoon on the charge day, he will be sent to prison till the next hearing or when soneone apply to bail him.*
*you are welcome. he might like to engage a lawyer to assist him to mitigate for lighter sentence, might be more than just fine. Have a nice talk with the IO might be able to find out the probable sentence.*
*I will. Thanks once again. Just received call to go bail him. *
*Just collected my friend's car from customs. Bailing him now. Well brothers and sisters, please do not tamper with your fuel gauge, it's just not worth it. Even for 1st timer, $500 fine plus 2 weeks imprisonment. *
*Wah, the penalty increase liao ah..last time i think don't have imprisonment right?*
*That's exactly what I thought too. But seem like it's really not worth it. *
*No, for such offence that got to do with taxes, the sentence will be more than just fine. May be try to fight for lower imprisonment but higher fine.*
*Yah man. Hopefully can get off with a higher fine. Keeping my fingers crossed as the officer say," So what if you have money? Have money still commit crime?" Well..........quite pissed with the statement made. But how true it is. *
*Tomorrow morning is the day man. *
*really have to think whether to remove the it anot......*
*remind your friend to prepare the bail amount in cash (don't accept cheque) and pass it to someone that will be at the court.*
*Pray that he will be slap with a small fine instead ...*
*Certainly hope so. With a wife and a 1 over year old son................damn................. *
*Calling out to all fellow brothers and sisters driving or just passengers. Do let your friends know. PLEASE DO NOT TAMPER WITH YOUR FUEL GAUGE. WHAT YOU SAVE ON FUEL IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH THE TIME IN THE PRISON. IT'S CONFIRMED!!! First timer pleaded guilty, cried real hard, begged for leniency, no criminal records, the judge just give you that 'SO???' look and sentence. FINE $500 & 2 WEEKS IMPRISONMENT.
To think of it calmly, as a friend to the victim, we felt it's too harsh. If we don't know the victim, then we might feel that it's consider cheating. How can just get off with a fine? Especially now that MY is implementing new measures, SG just have to show them that we are able to take care of our own people.*
*ok time to remove it than hahaha*
*Certainly not worth. But then come to think of it, if no such implementation, nobody will scare. *
*YES PLEASE PEOPLE, REMOVE THOSE GADGETS. Was told even if your fuel is sufficient and during routine check and they just happen to choose you, you will still get penalised. *
*Bro, thanks for your info... *
*No worries bro. It's very saddening to see friends kena for uncalled for mistakes. *

Re: Warning to those with....
This is not the first time and the last time that I will see such postings.
No feel for those.
People that tamper the gauges deserves to be penalized. Period.

bro if u notice ur car petrol tank is wider on the top half and the bottom half is narrower this contribute to the 150km first quater and the 200km 3 quater =) same for our forte only less obvious due to the tank design.. u notice that u can travel about 100plus before u hit the second mark from full.. then after half tank then needle just falls faster..

Re: Warning to those with....
I have same sentiments with such people.... No different from OPC owners who drive w/o paying in the weekdays morning to afternoon hours.... They deserve a harsh fine.

Parking fines are so much lighter compared to tempering fuel gauge.
But i got a friend who cheated parking coupon (never fully tear) and got caught.
Ended up i think also heavy fine (a few hundred i think) + go court some more.

THREE men were arrested for tampering with the fuel gauges of their cars - all within an hour - on March 10.
Two days earlier, another man was arrested for the same offence. Zhang Jin Chua, a driving instructor, was going through the Woodlands Checkpoint when he was stopped by immigration officers.
It was ten minutes to midnight. Presumably he thought he could have gotten away in the wee hours of the morning when the authorities would be less alert. Zhang, along with Tan Chong Jin James, Yap Soon Heng and Lee Hwa , were charged in court with not having the minimum amount of petrol in their vehicles' fuel tanks. They were also charged with giving false information to the authorities.
All have been sentenced to a $500 fine or in default, one week's jail and two weeks' imprisonment. Yap's case is still pending in court. Since January 2010, 17 persons have been prosecuted for tampering with fuel gauges on their vehicles.
Under the law, Singapore-registered cars must have at least three-quarter tank of petrol when departing Singapore. Motorists are advised against any attempts to infringe the rule when given the stringent checks at the checkpoints.
Those who tamper with the fuel gauges of their vehicles to give a false reading that the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks are three-quarter full or more illustrate a deliberate intent to cheat the authorities. Such offenders are liable on conviction to fines not exceeding $5,000 and/or jail term up to 12 months.
