Filling the Car Up!

[Deleted member 12175]

Filled the car with Fuel today for the first time.

Does anyone have trouble filling their car. I had a terrible job trying to fill it. THe nosel won't go in far enough and the petrol pump keeps clicking and it took me ages to fill up.

Any hints, tips on how to fill the car properly!

Was it a shell filling station

No i only fill up at Tesco to get Tesco club points, plus they are cheaper than shell round my area @ 87.9p a litre

85.9 for me at tesco but the pump works fine @ my tesco..

Tried a different pump?

No i think its the way the nossel fits into the car. It does not seem to fit in properly. I have to hold it so it does not fall out!

I know what ur on about.....it doesn't go in all the way (ooooooooh matron )

and don't even get me bloody started on the petrol cap - spent about 10 mins first time i went to fill up tryin to get the b*****d thing open

I do sometimes find that the diesel pump keeps switching itself off prematurely. The trick when this happens is to rotate the nozzle slightly and hold it at a different angle.

Or make sure your filling it up with petrol and not derv!

I know some areas have different type of pumps for different fuels!

I find the same. The derv takes longer to drain away than petrol !
