| ![]() Yesterday I wanted to have the air pressure checked and drove in to the HP petrol pump in Shivaji Park (on the left hand side if you are travelling from Prabhadevi to Mahim; it has a Crossword outlet). First there was no one manning the air gauge, although there were attendants around, some of whom ( I counted three) who were idling. Since I was in a queue and nothing happened for about 5-7 minutes, I parked my car on the street adjacent to the pump, went inside Crossword and spent about 20 odd minutes there. Then I sauntered back and asked the attendant nearby if the air pressure will be checked or not. After hearing a yes, I brought my car again and waited for 5 minutes for any attendant to check the air pressure. Some of them saw the car but none bothered to respond. Not all were busy. I had filled up diesel many times on my way back from south Bombay after work as it is located in a very convenient spot. Not any more. Regards Last edited by issigonis : 14th June 2010 at 16:53. |

With regards to quality of fuel, ive never had any fuel related problems in different cars fuelled up here. Finally, with regards to their quantity, im sure its accurate as i always reset the tripmeter when i fuel & check how much its run on my next refuel before resetting it. Had the same readings always (and in sync with the FE i should get). Quite possibly, the management & staff mustve changed since your encounter a few years back ![]() On another note, your Jag ran on normal fuel? i.e. no higher octane required? Could someone answer the question above? Am wondering about the advantages. Last edited by Xehaust : 14th June 2010 at 23:48. | |

Also from the EE highway travelling from Mulund to Ghatkopar - would it be better to the Jogeshwari Link road exit or the Vikhroli Station exit. If Vikhroli station exit, then should I be taking a left or a right once I reach LBS marg? | |

| ![]() I stay in Bhandup and the Vikhroli Godrej (LBS) Petrol pump is very good. Also Dadar Taximans Petrol pump is know for maintaining good quality. (in the lane before Chitra Cinema) "Also from the EE highway travelling from Mulund to Ghatkopar - would it be better to the Jogeshwari Link road exit or the Vikhroli Station exit. If Vikhroli station exit, then should I be taking a left or a right once I reach LBS marg?" Take the jogeshwari exit and then go left under the Gandhinagar bridge. Travel for 2-3 kms and the pump will be on the left. I have not seen the vikhroli station exit - there is one exit at ghatkopar and it is far away from the pump.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Around the vile parle (w) area SV road close to Pawan hans ,the safest i feel is the HP pump.Have been filling there for the past 1 year and no issues.Used to fill up from the Vile parle (e) earlier but gave that up due to having to drive east just to fuel up. Avoid the other 2 pumps on west , one is Indian oil on the side adjacent to pawan hans as i feel that the pumps are rigged with them displaying more quantity of fuel then delivered. Also avoid the little ahead towards Andheri, patco station,next to the signal for mithibai college,as they pump out adulterated fuel as i found out the hard way years ago. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, Any ideas about the BPCL petrol pump below the Gandhinagar flyover near Kanjurmarg. How is the quality of fuel dispensed. I have to seriously start thinking of refulling in Mumbai coz it cheaper than in Thane. The fuel sold in Thane is costlier by two rupees than that sold in Mumbai. Its 57+ in Thane ![]() |

The Vatcha pump you talk of might be a good pump, but they are very laid back | |

| ![]() Are there any shell pumps in Mumbai between worli to Mahim. I usually fill up from the BP pump opposite Shiv-Sena bhavan and was interested in a reliable pump near by in addition to the IOC pump.Could anyone tell if they are better than BP??

I don't think there are any Shell Pumps left in Mumbai, most of them have shutdown. Now with the deregulation on Petrol Prices hopefully we should see the private players re-opening pumps. |

| ![]() The indian oil petrol pump in vikhroli at the corner of the junction towards Kailash Plaza. I have observed that my scorpio behaves the best when it runs on the diesel from this pump. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I tanked up at the Kings Circle bunk the other day seeing positive reviews here (is on your left ~50 feet before King's Circle when you are going north from Dadar towards Sion). It was a fine experience, but it wasnt actually a COCO. Is called Amar Pump, and is a BP Pure for Sure pump. I figured that HP runs a COCO on Port Trust Road between Wadala and Sewri. Haven't been there though. I am told this is the only HP COCO in town apart from one in BKC. Anybody has more information on COCOs? |

You are talking about the Cadell Auto Pump. They have a very good reputation. Honest chaps, no chance of fuel adulteration. However, the staff is severely over-worked, especially in the evenings. That explains the poor customer service you received. |
