    before the crash there was a thread with the list of 'Trusted' bunks. Can we use this thread to create one? (may also create a list of contrary but that I guess will be endless and too long).

    I fill fuel from the BP pump on JVLR near Mahakali caves, Mumbai. my speedo is faulty these days so I wont mention the milage but I go here because some of my friends recommended this one.

      ^^ +1... I think it would be nice if we had a thread like that... Or if the old thread can be resurrected that would be nice... When we travel across the city and are in need of fuel it would be nice to know of trusted petrol bunks in nearby areas....

        Now i know why some pumps dont fill in water bottles. Once you fill in the bottle you know what exact amount of petrol they are poring.

          In B'lore, I have seen many bunks directing people with bottles to one particular machine, I guess they keep one machine accurate (least usage) and rest dispenses less quantity of petrol to ward off vigilant customers ?!??

            That is because of nozzle size.a standard nozzle won't be able to fill bottle easily & cause spillage.That is why one or two nozzles at every RO are of special narrow size.

              ^^ Any idea why two nozzle stds are used instead of just one which can fill both tanks and bottles ?

                filling of bottles is illegal.the nozzles are changed as a convenience to customer/filling up of barrels for small scale industries using diesel which also is illegal.

                std. nozzles are according to the the norms prescribed /manufacturing specs.

                  an idea?

                  How about bike manufacturers come up with a gadget integrated in the speedo or some where appropriate that let us know the liters added to the existing fuel in the tank filled by the petrol bunk. I am sure it is not a difficult one.

                    +1 to that..

                    That is, IMO, the best solution by far to stop this cheating. To start a campaign on a moral thing is like drawing on water surface.. We should have something in our bikes which will tell us the litres being added, with the option of calibration.

                    We can think of making it ourselves or guiding some folks in colleges to take it as a project.. phew.. there u go..!

                      Hi all,
                      I have noted the same issues many times in Bangalore.
                      I use the following bunks which seem to be giving me correct quantity.
                      Shell : Hosur road 9 near Bommanahalli)
                      Electronics City : HP bunk
                      There is a new petrol bunk coming up in BDA complex, HSR layout. This should give us good fuel for a few months.

                      I usually roam around with a 2 litre can in my Backpack most of the time.
                      Please fill in bunks where they dont hesitate to fill into bottles. If they are willing to fill in bottles, that means they give good quality.
                      BTW, I trust Shell, but somehow, they usually refuse to fill in bottles.

                        Gosh, I never noticed a second page of this thread.
                        All my views have already been posted.
                        However, now i realise why Shell bunks refuse to fill in bottles (its illegal)

                        And coming to the device to monitor fuel added into the tank, I would suggest a small vertical transparent strip on the tank (with markings) itself to show how much fuel has been filled. ( BAJAJ: u listening??? ). Because I feel, adding another Gizmo to the bike will behave like the new ZMR's " real time fuel Indicator" which behaves really funny. Courtesy: ownership experiences.
                        I feel adding another meter or so, will take time for the fuel to settle down and might behave differently if the Bunk is situated on an uphill...

                        anyway, just my suggestions.

                        And heyy Darkknight, I wanted to ask you, is the density of petrol much higher when the temperature is very cold?? Do we get more quantity of petrol if we fill in such freezing temperatures??

                          shell guys have their own cans and we have to pay 400 bucks just to get that can..it will be 5 litrs i think and when we give the can back we get back our money...but what if i have only 100bucks and no petrol bunk anywhere in sight ....??? that would be like shit man

                            I think Cauvery Auto Services near Lalbagh West Gate is okay. I have been going there for a very long time now, let's say from my birth itself, because we had an account there & we got credit as well. Then Park View near Home School Circle is okay as well. The BP bunk at BTM Signal next to A2B is okay too. I go to CAS only.

                            CHEERS,

                              Densitometer

                              Ok, the densitometer is something to look out for.

                              What is the densiy value that we are looking for (on these densitometers) in these pumps?
