Title: Petrol Post by: Luci on Friday, November 16, 2007, 17:49:02 Just went to put petrol in my car for tomorrow and what the hell happened to the clicking noise it makes when the tanks full?
It made no noise and petrol just sprayed out all over me and my car, I stink of fuel and have paid for fuel sitting on the forecourt at Asda. Not happy :twisted: Sorry had to rant :oops: Title: Petrol Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, November 16, 2007, 18:04:14 Oh dear Luce. Not good. Hope it doesn't happen again during the weekend.

Title: Petrol Post by: sonic youth on Friday, November 16, 2007, 18:18:27 i always thought that the click was when the pump was backing up on itself...
anyway how else would you tell your tank is full unless you know the exact capacity available? Title: Petrol Post by: lebowski on Friday, November 16, 2007, 18:20:22 what happens is that as you fill the tank with petrol, the air exits the tank and should set off a stop valve inside the pump to stop it over filling.
if i was you stfc lady i would be fucking livid if science failed on me.

I've got my breakfast bap sorted thanks :) For the purely selfish reason that I want the car to stay in one piece at least til we get there, I thought of the smoking thing. Title: Petrol Post by: axs on Friday, November 16, 2007, 21:31:15 i'd quite like it to stay in one piece until we get back!
Title: Petrol Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, November 16, 2007, 21:32:27 Nah, someone's bound to break into the secured car park and take it for a joy ride.
