Why not call them "People" current short people "Tall People" and current tall people "Behemoths".

Gas stations typically test for water on delivery of fuel. There is a paste that changes color if there is water in the fuel that is rubbed on the dipstick they drop into the tank to measure fuel level. Or that's how they used to do it when I was a kid working at a gas station in Canada. Both the employee of the gas station and the delivery driver sign off on it. The fuel company does not want to be blamed for selling watered down fuel and the station doesn't want to buy watered down fuel so it's a reasonable check/balance system.

Oh, makes sense that they'd have digital monitors now, dropping a huge ruler in the tank wasn't the best system.

I had only heard about this once about a tiny little gas station. On the freeway outside of a tiny little town. Just rumors, nobody who lived nearby would get gas there as they had apparently watered their gas at some point.

Could be that we also had tank meters, I just never saw them. There would have been no reason for me to as a 16 year old gas jockey. Thanks for the info, it's always nice to fill in the gaps !
