    I just jam the filler cap under the lever that does the job. 75 litres takes a longgggg time to fill. :)

    Not as long as it takes to earn that sort of money though :eek:.
    Does the pump cut out ok with a filler cap jammed under it? Might try that myself next time, thanks for the idea.

    And who still pays by cash for this stuff, just pay at the pump with your card and get out my way, causing extra queues wasting my fuel making me sit there 5 more minutes with my engine on while I wait for you to get your weeks shop from the bloody convenience store lumbered on the forecourt.

    :rotfl:


    I had a rant at the chap on the till one day last month.
    I'd been sat waiting for in excess of 15 minutes, then out come two people each with 3 carrier bags full of shopping!!!

    The hose isn't long enough to reach around my car at most forecourts due to the sheer size of my boot, I refuse to scuff my paint by resting it on the boot itself AND what people seem to forget here is that passing a rubber fuel hose against a hot exhaust is not the most clever of things to do at petrol station. ;)
