The instruction spread like wildfire in Sartrouville, in the Yvelines, the night of Monday to Tuesday. At the service station of the Carrefour hypermarket, a fuel pump malfunctioned and delivered fuel to motorists without the need to introduce their bank card into the PLC.

The full fuel free, a message that was very quickly relayed on social networks (see link tweet and screenshot attached). To the point that a long queue has formed on the spot. It is this ride that intrigued one of the vigils of the hypermarket, surprised to see at 2 am an unusual line of vehicles queuing at the same pump. Understanding the situation, he called the police who intervened, causing the escape of several people who took the opportunity to fill free gas jerry cans.
