State regulators have found more than 60 gas stations in the San Antonio area this year with pumps that could potentially shortchange customers.

Texas Department of Agriculture records obtained by mySA.com show regulators found dozens of gas stations in Bexar and surrounding counties had pumps that weren't fully operational between Jan. 1 and Oct. 30.

The pumps were deemed out of order by investigators with the agency for a few different reasons. Here's a quick guide to the violations found in the above slideshow:

Short measure in excess of tolerance: The pump shorted the customer gasoline by an amount greater than the amount allowed under state law. The tolerance allowed by the Texas Department of Agriculture for diesel and gas pumps is six cubic inches, roughly six tablespoons of gas when a five-gallon test measure is used.

Improperly maintained: The pump was in poor enough operating condition to the point that it could not accurately dispense fuel.

Does not hold zero: The pump did not begin the transaction at $0.00 and zero gallons.

Two times the tolerance: The pump delivered less fuel than the amount indicated on the display by more than twice the allowed amount by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Other HB 44: In this slideshow, this only means that the pump continues to charge the customer after they've dispensed the desired amount of fuel. But, the Department of Agriculture lists a number of violations under this category.
