Not sure why this post would prevent anybody taking anything I say seriously. I wuz sent an e-mail with some information, I posted the content of that e-mail on here, then after checking out the theory, and finding it to be incorrect, I placed another post to that effect.

I found the ribbings about buckets of steam and tins of grinding sparks extremely funny, I've been had good and proper, (but I suspect I'm not the only one who went and checked the theory out).

Bloody right you're not the only one, I went and checked my van and car, and the other three cars that were here at the time :lol:

I think toriitom was making a funny that wasnt actually funny, thats one of the problems with reading a comment sometimes, its difficult to interperate sentiment!

i drive a transit connect for work (i know its a focus in drag) and it works for that. not only is the fuel hose to the right of the pump but theres an arrow pointing to the right as well.

Dead easy. Both the Neoplan and Volvo coaches I drive have fillers on both sides. The difficult bit is rembering quite where they are on the body so that you can get them next to the pump :roll:
