Hello all
I've just acquired a 1983 110 4C hardtop (Petrol) which I believe may be ex-Royal Navy.
At my local BP garage, when I went to put unleaded in (I'd already checked the fuel type) it took ages, like about ten minutes to get a tenner's worth in, as the pump kept clicking every time I applied more than "kid Gloves" pressure! I gave up after that. Having poked around, it seems that the nozzle is too short and I wondered what I'm doing wrong?
On my other car, a Subaru Impreza, (a boring family one) I sometimes have a similar problem but changing the angle of insertion (ooer) does the trick.
Is it just a crappy pump, is there a bit missing, or am I just missing the patently obvious.
The other thought is that it might be an ex-diesel, but that's ridiculous...isn't it?
