you sure the anti syphon valve isnt jammed in you filler neck some cars have a ping pong ball near the bottom also doubles up as a handy roll over valve if you decide to flip your car

How can someone join in 2006 and make their first post today. Four years to work out how to post?

You need to be a " smartbox " to work it out?

I don't spill any Diesel down the side of my car. And I never spilled any petrol down the side of my previous cars.

Maybe the OP needs a lesson in how to fill up properly?

I'd say that about 75% of the petrol pumps I have used in the past year have put some fuel down the side of my car onto the forecourt.

I've never had this problem.

Sounds like its an issue with your car or you.

I can generally get my nozzle deep in the hole, making sure not to spill anything!
