    Surely that problem lies with Asda and not the customers. How does the customer in front of you know that you want diesel??

    Yes; as I said, they probably wouldn't even know that only the front ones serve diesel.

    I have yet to visit any PFS where the hose will not reach to the far side of a car...

    maybe park a bit closer next time...:rotfl:

    The static hoses at our local Asda do not reach the far side of my C8. Even if I stop right up to the pump, it doesn't quite reach.

    I think the problem is some people don't realise the hose can reach over your car,
    However some filling stations specifically forbid that and will not start the pump if you try it.

    Never, ever had that happen.

    Which ones are you thinking off [or is it just a local thing to you???].

    Now that is funny.

    Not a local thing as I have had in 3 different places across the country. It may, however, be a local decision by each particular manager rather than any sort of policy.

    never had that happen yet, i thought all hoses were so long so they could reach round teh car if need be,

    seems common sense has gone out the window and been replaced by alot of hot air,

    ive mainly seen it at a tesco pfs where people dont use common sense

    I've never seen that happen, unless it's an English thing, but as far as I know, in NI all pumps allow the pump to start if the hose is over the car.
    And the hoses all seem to reach over cars unless you park too far away from the pump or have a giant car.
    carpe diem :cool:
