IOC Gas Station

Nice

was searching for good HP Petrol pump near BEML layout in Bangalore. The search ended up with the HP pump right next Cosco mall on ITPL road. The reason for a HP pump is because I hold a ICICI-HP credit card and will get rid of 5 % surcharge , if used to fuel my vehicle. Now, the first step was to check the users review on this HP fuel station. When searched in team-bhp, I found one thread which advices us to keep away from this fuel station next to Cosco mall. Having read such a review, I decided to visit this station. Went in there in last weekend, met the Managing Partner Mr. Madhukar Reddy. I am not too sure about the name, but this is my best guess. He spoke to me very politely, requested me to sit down and enquired about the purpose of my visit. I requested him to help me with a quality and quantity check. He was more than willing do that for me.

He then assisted by one his employee, pumped in 5 litres of fuel to a Weight and measures calibrated 5 ltr container, He did not failed to mention that there could be 15 mil difference is possible. The container filled neck to neck, I was convinced. Now the next thing was to get the adulteration check. He has told me the detailed procedures of filter paper check. If any stains or sediments found on the white filter paper, then it is adulterated fuel. When checked, I did not find any stains or sediments either. So it is my best understanding that the fuel is good enough.

Now this pump falls between 2 Shell pumps, one at Siddhapura and the other next to Gopalan School and with the volume of business they do, I don't find any reason for them to cheat customers. I have the pictures of procedure that are followed. I will upload them soon.

Also note that, with little bit English and Hindi they know, the boys at this pump are more than happy to greet you and request you to check zero. I have also learned from Madhukar that there is a sensor tag system which automatically sets to zero after every fuel filling. He also directed all his employees to request the customers to check the final reading before they move on. I guess there is no reason for me to doubt this particular pump anymore. On a side note, this pump also serves us with nitrogen filling.

Dear Team-BHPians, can you please guide me whether there is any reason for me to still doubt this fuel station based on the previous review
