I am trying to compile a list of the delayed flights for which Thomson have claimed that a faulty Fuel Valve (or any variation of e.g. Fuel Surge Valve, Fuel Tank Surge Valve, Fuel Tank Transfer Valve etc).
If you could reply to this post with the following info:
This can then be used by myself and anyone else to help discredit claim of exceptional circumstances by using this reason. It is either a very common fault, in which case it is not exceptional or they are just spouting the same excuse and lying to multiple people in the hope of scaring off the claimant.
Please do not post anything else in this thread or ask any questions unrelated to the Fuel Valve issue to stop the thread getting full of unrelated posts.
