BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, has Shell opened up a new pump at Warje? Where is it? I don't see it in any google maps. |

You are absolutely right. I love these pumps because its just so darn convenient for me to fill up at either. I have switched to HP to analyze their fuel, lets see if anything acts funny. But now that you mentioned it i have noticed the idle is not as smooth. Lets see its still to early for me to comment. Will use HP for a while and then shift to BP again. I want to come to a conclusion. So is HP better or do things sway in BP's favour? Will keep all posted on my findings. I remember back in the day. Read mid 2000's ok not too way back. But i have personally seen Sherry (pump owner) come to inspect the fuel before taking delivery from the truck. Have not seem him recently, but only just started filling up here again. Will ask someone who can confirm the same. Last edited by mdsaab : 14th April 2011 at 13:41. | |

Strange, since we were filling up various cars at this very bunk (2nd petrol pump on Karve road, near Kasat) for many years now. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() It's not just me then? I filled in a tankful of Club HP (my regular stuff is Shell Super but the nearly 12/- price difference is not worth it...or so I thought!) and experienced some more noise and jarriness during my Aurangabad drive. It sucks that we need to be so vigilant about something as basic as filling fuel! |

| ![]() I would actually love it if we followed the same method thats done abroad. Fill your own fuel and then go and pay the money. But thats far from possible, thanks to our population and impatient behavior. |

- I pull into the bunk against a pump, and head to the counter to pay for it so that I can start filling. - Come out to see that some other guy had already taken the nozzle and helped himself to some of the fuel that I had paid for. | |

BTW, fuelled up yesterday from the BP pump @ Phase 2 , almost adjacent to Wipro . The pump/attendant looks clean . The diesel gravity stands around 760-800 (good) and the attendants definately are courteous . As already mentioned cards are being accepted and the quality of the fuel till time (driven 100 odd kms ) looks good . IMHO , beware not fill in air from this pump , the machine doesn't seemed to be callibrated properly and yours truly pulled up a (personal) digital air guage to prove this to the pump authorities . The machine installed out there is under inflating the tyres . This is just my observation , some people might want to differ just like the acting manager of the pump . ![]() Last edited by jealousdiamond : 15th April 2011 at 11:03. | |

Consider this, how much employment is being created by having attendants. Good for the economy, me thinks. To add to that, you have courteous young things greeting you with a smile; at least in some pumps. | |

But then again, they can have a separate pump for people paying with plastic. Swipe your card and enter the amount to start filling. |

![]() No doubts left topped up and made a move . I might sound a bit conservative but I strongly feel the shoes(tyre) are one of the major aspects of our loveable rides , so they should be in prestine condition all the time ![]() However, have notified the pump guy out there about the mismatch / improper calibration , least to say he was not bothered by it ![]() My humble suggestion would be avoid the air top up if you can from this bunk as I am just not sure whether its over/ under inflating , but for sure the machine needs recalibration .
