Kudos to Shell East (Commonwealth)

For being honest enough to return our fuel cap

Story goes my dad used the Benz last August 30. He refuels at said station. Today (September 5), I was using the Benz and noticed that the rear quarter panel was drenched in diesel. So I checked the fuel door and noted that the cap was not in place. Checking the credit card receipts, we traced that it was last refueled at said Shell station. My dad drops by this afternoon and gets cap back.

How the cap got left there is still a mystery. But at least they returned it to us without drama.

Sila rin siguro dahilan kung bakit naiwan dun ung cap, nakalimutan siguro nila ibalik nung nag pa gas kayo dun las time!

iyon na lang cguro ang mahalaga naisoli pa ..kaysa naman sa ksalanan na nila tapos ayaw pa isauli

pag nag papagas ako lagi ako naka tingin sa side mirror after niya mag refill at doon sa pinaglagyan niya ng cap before ako umalis

[batang_raon14]

Well, I once "almost" left my fuel cap in a gas station rin... pagkabayad kasi, for some unknown reason, napa-go na agad ako. Thinking na oks na un and all... sabay un pala di pa naibabalik ung fuel cap sa sasakyan ko. Buti napara ako ng nagkarga saken.

This could happen naman normally to anyone eh... nakakalimot talaga tayo bilang tao eh. hehe But how the gas station returned your fuel cap sir without any drama is extraordinary and very admireable. =)

anong Shell to? kasi nagpagas din kami sa Shell, paglabas lang ng Tandang Sora and the gasboy forgot to return the fuel cap, buti na lang papunta lang kami sa Metrobank, which is a building away from Shell, hinabol kami nung gasboy.

[OTEP]

This is just a theory pero spring loaded kasi ang fuel door ng Benz. Matabig mo lang ng konti, it will close by itself. Baka natamaan and nagclose mag-isa yung fuel door without the fuel cap having been put back in.

Btw, wala na yung original fuel cap yung Benz noon pa. It uses the same cap as the engine oil filler hole. Yun lang kasi ang readily available substitute noon. hehehe.

[RedHorse]

galing naman ng gas boy... imagine almost all of them contractual lang, as in walang paki

[NazQ]

nice! di naman maiiwasan ng magkaron ng mga ganitong situations.. the important thing is kung mangyari man, may resolution. props to shell commonwealth!

[mbeige]

Is the one sa UP Diliman? May isa rin Shell Commonwealth sa tabi ng Ever.

Either way, good thing you were able to also track it back. Ako tinatapon ko resibo once everything is ok (cap is fixed, I paid, I'm gone)...

[OTEP]

Sa tabi po ito ng Iglesia ni Cristo. The side heading towards Elliptical.

Have to share good service experience sa said Gas station. Nag pa under chassis wash ako ng Car after nung matapos the attendant applied some undercoats dun sa naka expose na body parts for free. Mabibigyan mo talaga ng tip kahit di sya manghingi.

[theveed]

Hmm, how is that a "good" experience po? Diba negligence nila yun? What if gasoline yan at lumihab?

Happened to a friend of Vince as well, nagpakarga sa shell, pag dating sa amin, nakita ni Vince walang gas cap. Pag balik nya dun, they had a bag full of caps that they forgot to return.

[OTEP]

theveed, it's just seeing the glass either half empty or half full.

May friend ako, hindi na nakuha yung gas cap niya...

[chain]

dyan din ako nagpapa-gas palagi.

very good service nga dyan.

OT: may isang gas boy dun (or rather gas gay) na, sa sobrang galang, comes off as annoying. I don't know whether its his voice or intonation pero nakakainis. yung sinasabi nya medyo "rap" pa ang dating..

in a tiny, reedy, high-pitched voice, "ser welcome to shell... full-tank ho ba, V-Power? ser sundan lang natin yung rules and regulations" (sabay turo sa nakapaskil na rules ala PRICE IS RIGHT)

tapos, "ser, tubig, langis, windshield...?"

i am so tempted to answer sarcastically... *sigh* pero wala naman syang ginagawang masama...

[1D4LV]

a related question...

eh pano kung di na nabalikan yung fuel cap. may mga aftermarket fuel caps ba na available?

[OTEP]

Meron naman pong OEM kaso medyo mahal. Yung replacement minsan pangit ang quality lalo na yung 'universal' (pang-owner jeep).

[Gumusut_Amige]

maganda sigurong lagyan na lang ng tali yung fuel cap niyo para hindi na makalimutan uli...

[theveed]

Mga ibang Euros may tali talaga.

[j_avonni]

May good experience din ako sa station na yan. Yung kanilang chief mechanic (forgot his name) was very helpful.

[Bogeyman]

Same thing sa Petron Ortigas Ave., pagkalampas ng Cainta Junction going to Antipolo. Naiwan ng father-in-law ko yung gas cap niya, buti naisoli sa kanya agad.
