First drive out today and first visit to the petrol pump. It's fixed! It fills just like any other car - nozzle right in, squeeze as hard as you like. Fantastic - I'm delighted as it was the only real negative I had about the car. I dreaded filling it. Thank you MMC.
Neil, do you know what MMC did as the cure ?
Yes - they listed:
Machine Shop Supply Fuel Adapter.
Tank Rubber Gasket
Petrol Hose 1/2 Inch Bore
Petrol Cap Side Vent 12mm
I assume bigger vents/bores and an especially made up 'supply fuel adapter' - but I don't know what this is.
It was worth having done as filling the car was beyond tedious. It was painfully slow (gingerly pressing the trigger etc) but also not really knowing if the car was actually full.
Worth adding that previously I would end up with my feet covered in petrol as it would also suddenly woosh out of the filler cap. This has stopped too.
