Ironically if it is the pump that i am talking about he is the 2nd highest seller in Delhi ![]() Just for the rcord there is no more palm greasing in Delhi as of now! those days are bygone now and they very much care about complaints.

| ![]() Yeah its the same one. I get down of the car while getting refueled to ensure that the meter is 0 and the vendor doesn't start stop the fuel more than once. |

| ![]() Location: HPCL pump near Marahathalli Brand factory Time: 11:50 PM Vehicle: Motorcycle Went to this pump at 11:50 in the night for fuel for my motorcycle since this is a 24 hour pump. The attendant was fully drunk. Here is the scenario that transpired: I asked for 300 Rs. fuel to be filled. The drunk guy calls another fellow and whispers something in his ear. He blocks my view of the pump when the first guy is entering the amount. Thankfully, i had not opened the fuel tank lid yet. I sternly told the guy blocking my view to move. To my horror the guy has input Rs. 50. I did not open the lid and asked the drunk guy if he had not heard me right. He immediately changed it to Rs. 300 without even me telling him a second time and filled the fuel. Not sure if this is a company owned pump or not. |

| ![]() I have not seen other customers fighting as I only visit this bunk if i need fuel for my bike and shell is not open during that time of the night. I think company owned pumps are better in this regard that the staff are atleast not drunk to the hilt during the night times. One that comes to mind is the Indian Oil pump on the BTM -Jayadeva Hospital road, near the water tank. Have always had a good experience with them. |

BHPian | ![]() I had few odd experiences with fuel stations in Pune. First was with the one situated on Paud Road, Pune. Its next to Krishna Hospital while going towards Chandni Chowk. I suppose it is IOCL but not sure. I was on my bike and a middle-aged man in front of me in the queue. That fellow asked for Rs. 100 refill, the attendant asked him to take out money quickly as the queue was long. While this man was taking out money, the attendant started dispensing without resetting the meter and stopped at Rs. 100. But I had seen that the meter was initially at Rs. 30. I literally shouted and told the man about the mischief. The attendant immediately apologized and continued till Rs. 130. After the man left, attendant brought a smile on his face and got ready to refill my bike. The stern look on my face was enough to tell that shameless fellow that I don't see any fun in that. The other experience was last month at the IOCL bunk next to Nal Stop while going towards Deccan. This was on the day the price hike was announced. All petroleum companies didn't increase the price on the same day and by same amount to avoid the allegation of Cartelisation ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() Visited the Indian Oil petrol pump on ORR.This is the one near to the BMTC depot(HSR Layout) I am sure I got ripped.I asked the attendent to fill in Rs 1000 worth diesel and whilst I was removing the cash,he said a quick "Sir,zero" and started to fill. Within the next 2 seconds,I saw that the pump had dispensed fuel worth Rs 100.Questioned the guy about how the meter dashed from 0 to 100 in 2 seconds.He had no answer.Since it was a sunday,there were hardly 2 or 3 of them in the bunk. Left the petrol pump after telling myself that I'd never ever visit again |

| ![]() The more I read the duping stories the more I think the public filling their vehicles is to be blamed. I had a small incident. The Bunk outside Manyata Tech Park, Bangalore. There were 2 queues for 2 wheelers. I got in one. When I reached the dispensing point I asked for Rs 200. He set the meter to zero and inserted the nozzle in the tank. Before he could start I again requested rs 200. He said yes. I said no. Key in the amount first. Then start. He said go to next dispenser. I said ok. There he keyed in the amount. But I saw people using the previous dispenser too. The guy dispensing the liquid gold stopped at a few paisa's short of the amount mentioned by the customers. |

| ![]() ^^ Incident on Saturday morning en-route to Nandi Hills ride. It was around 6:30 AM. Went to HPCL pump (again!!) just after Columbia Asia hospital on the left hand side. Same trick but different execution. I asked the guy for Rs. 300 worth fuel. Attendant closed the display when entering the amount with his left hand and entered Rs 100. Closed the fuel lid and repeated that I asked for Rs. 300 and not 100. He then changed the amount and started filling. Petrol pump attendants are waiting to rip off customers. ![]() Last edited by abhinav.s : 8th February 2011 at 17:47. |

I did not face any issue. Quality also ok. They give prompt receipt printed by the dispensing station. | |
