Not really. The pumps where I work are re-calibrated about every 3 months I think. As you'd expect with a bit of wear and tear on a mechanical piece of equipment they do tend to become less accurate. That being said the last guy I was speaking to said 9/10 as they wear they tend to give out more fuel. With that being said, he told me if I wanted any fuel I should get it from that pump as it was giving out a whopping 17mil per 20 litres extra...(which he was quite surprised by...)
