What do you mean? The OP
did get the charges reversed (and it's not clear whether he captured the odometer reading as well as the fuel-gauge level in the same photo).
Car renters don't take those photos as a way of
preventing improper charges; they take those photos as evidence to help them get improper charges reversed, which the OP did.
