Problems filling up with petrol

Post by tattoodevil »

Not sure if this is in the right section of the forum.

Anyway, had this problem on my last cav too. When I try and fill up at the garage the pump clicks off as though the tank is full every litre or so. I try and reposition the nozzle but no joy. Is there any way to sort this?

Cheers Gaz. Is it as simple as pulling them off and blowing them through?
