I can think of only two reasons : 1. nozzle design differences (not sure whether this is a valid reason) 2. inclination/slope on the surface on which car sits while getting filled | |

1. If the breather pipe gets clogged due to the sudden escape of air during filling. This again can be sporadic and depends mostly but not totally on how fast the fuel is sent into the tank as sudden expansion increases the speed at which the air escapes. Also, the temperature at the time of filling contributes to this. 2. If the nozzle's tip, where the cut-off sensor is placed, is either asymmetric or is ultra-sensitive or if the sensor itself is damaged. Quote:
If you want to write to Shell then mention about checking the nozzle for its sensor too. Hope it helps. Cheers | ||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() A note of caution about IOC bunk at Haralur off Sarjapur road. Location This is a 24 hour bunk frequented by cab drivers who take Haralur road to avoid Silkboard while coming from Electronics city towards Marathahalli side. I consider patronage by cabbies as a approval on quality and quantity of fuel, cabbies would be able to make out the difference in mileage easier than average car user. However, around 4 people from my apartment which is in the locality has mentioned that at different timeframe they were cheated by the tyre pressure kiosk guy. It is the classic 'You got puncture' scam. While getting out from the bunk, they stopped to check air, the kiosk guy asked them to move the car bit ahead or backward since the nozzle was not easily accessible. After this he says there are multiple punctures, fixes it. This came to light when one of my neighbour had a doubt about multiple punctures since he didn't notice any issues while driving to the bunk. He put across a caution in our apartment mailing group, on reading about that another 4 ~5 people also mentioned the same. They were planning on raising a complaint with IOC on this. |

| ![]() I stay two gates neighbouring Shell petrol pump on SH-35 / Kadugodi-Hoskote road / Seegehalli. What's the feedback on this petrol pump. This petrol pump is not crowded like in the Shell's in city. Is convenient too. I searched through this thread a little but couldn't find any information. Thanks |

| ![]() A new Shell bunk is opening(currently work in progress) next to Rainbow hospital ORR. The bunk is accessible immediately after you descend the flyover. Appears like a smaller outlet. |

I always fill my fuel here, this pump is indeed a walk from my house. No complaints as of now. Quote:
He closes at 11 pm. There is one more (Essar) coming up near the 24th Main Hotel in JP Nagar 2nd phase. This pump dispenses petrol, diesel and gas. Last edited by drhoneycake : 9th August 2018 at 19:38. | ||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Based on my experience with various brands of Diesel incl PSU, Shell, Essar and Reliance, in my X3 30d, I can confidently state that Reliance Diesel brings out the best from the engine. The smoothness and improved 'pick up' is quite noticeable. Most of my Reliance tank ups are in Belgaum though. This Reliance pump is just off the highway as you enter Belgaum city. Right next to it is a BP pump and an IOC pump. But I see a lot of trucks queing up at the Reliance pump. Now I know why! Sadly very few Reliance outlets inside BLR city. |

| ![]() Guys, can we create an easily accesible database/google spreadsheet to share trusted pumps, service centers etc since it is impossible to read all the threads to find one near you. Admins, please pitch in! |

| ![]() Update on the Essar petrol pump near Seetha circle, Banashankari first stage: Good experience going down the drain. The earlier staff in this location seems to have moved on and now I see some new chaps hanging around. Had two bad incidents in a single day on 07/10/18. I took my Duke for a fill at 0615 and ask the guy to fill full. He drops the nozzle into the tank and starts the pump. He moves over to the next pump and starts chatting. The auto fill cuts off after 1.2 L discharge and stops. He comes back and says it is full. I tell him it is half filled and tell him to fill more. He adds another half liter and says it is full and jams the dispenser in its dock. I tell this to the gentleman who is in charge and he simply shrugs and walks off. I pay and get out. Later in the day, I take my car and while parking in the "box" marked the front wheel drives over the pipe which is inside the box. The guy yells and tells why I have run over the pipe and if something happens he would have to pay from his pocket. I lost my cool this time, and tell him it has to be docked in a certain way to the dispenser and not throw it around. He is taken aback from my reaction and again yells how much petrol? I tell him Thanks and drive off. I am thinking of going back to Shell, Mysuru road as this seems to have maintained its service top notch sine its opening. |
