fuel filler cap metal cover issues

Postby citrus » Tue Nov 28, 2017 7:50 pm

have a 65 plate custom and never had a problem but the other day the diesel nozzle didnt want to go in the fuel tank filler

on this model the cover opens easy peasy to reveal some metal door which opens when the pump is pushed in

i thought it was a bit odd ... tried to push and force the metal door and understand how it works .. but in the end just tried the pump again and its seemed to work a bit better

anyone else had this problem ?

shouldn't have to use so much force ... might take it into the stealers

£28 is way too much to pay, I think they can be had for a £5 ish....the sh*t filler is supposed to stop idiots filling up with petrol, I can tell you it doesn't, it just makes it more difficult...

Had this issue a few time some pumps don't have a long enough nozal before the bend to open filler.
