Carelessness of filling station employee.

Yesterday my friend was on the way to mahad for inspection of his project site and suddenly his car started pumping out black smoke from silencer and after few meter car broke down.

Immediately he got a mechanic to check and then realized that instead of diesel filling station employees filled petrol.

Because of filling employees carelessness cars engine got stuck and both injectors burnt which gave a big hole in his pocket.

We went to bpcl station at teen hath naka opposite to eternity mall Thane where he filled, but owner was not available. They asked us to visit the same to meet the owner but he is either busy or not available.

What if it happened remote area while travelling with family in night times?
It would have been a big trouble. So all my friends are requested to confirm before filling fuel to avoid unnecessary problems. more

Please ensure that we inform the attendant the product required while filling ...The colour code on fuel cap and nozzle must match before filling starts. Also since there is substantial price difference between the two commodities we can come to know immediately while paying... The machines have the dispensation of product written prominently and a bill is always generated automatically after filling . In automatic filling stations the second customer will not get fuel from the automatic machine ,till the previous bill is generated . Also buy a loyalty card , say by Indian Oil so that on filling the fuel ,complete details come on the mobile ,so that even if the driver gets fuel filled the owner comes to know the type,quantity , amount and time of purchase.... more  
Talk to company sales officer. Dealer will refund money and also repair charges. You must take it so that incident is taken seriously. Sales officer number is written their on glass of office at petrol pump. I have worked in BPCL for 14 years and company will ensure justice. Take it up and share the outcome. All the best. more
