Fuel cap

Guest
An absolute noob question, I had 28p off a litre of petrol at tesco so of course I filled it to the absolute gunnels untill it was in my hands and on the ground! Question is I don't seem to have a fuel cap.. Just the wee door that opens.. Is this the same as everyone else's? Car was brand new when I bought it so I'm hoping it hasn't been nicked at the dealership!

Thanks!
 
It's a bit late in the day for April fools jokes! You should definitely have a fuel cap that is connected to the rim of the fuel tank with a little plastic strip so you can't lose it.
 
Ahhhh bugger! Need to go into the dealership tomorrow! Knew it wasn't right lol! Wonder how much petrol I've lost these last 1500 miles!
 
Cheers lads! Luckily I work in the dealership so I'll sort it out tomorrow.. By removing someone else's lol

Joke of course!
 
Just a point about filling it to the very top in the summer on a hot day. If you continue to fill it after the automatic stop, you are actually filling the expansion space and run the risk of ???????????

How did you get 28p a litre off at Tesco? The promotion they are running is a max of 20p!! I got 8p off after spending £200 and thought I was doin well:blink::censored:
 
I didn't actually understand it myself, it was my dads clubcard and he said it had to be used by the end of the day, just on the fuel cap thing I got one! It says diesel but my car is the 1.4 lol good luck to the next owner!

Forget the petrol cap, I want to know how much boot space you have with a fuel tank big enough to let you drive 1500 miles before filling up?!?

In all seriousness a new cap is required, but good luck trying to convince the dealer/seat that it's been missing since delivery...

I assumed it was like the fords were you don't get one, salesman managed to "source" one.. It does say "diesel" and my car is a petrol but hey, CLOSE ENOUGH
