filling station madness
discomummy:
Hi,
even worse is my local sainsburys, depending on which pump you go to, some of them are time limited and i can't fill it in the time allowed - wot sort of squidgy rotbox car only fills up with 35 litres of petrol? it can take me three goes to put my 85 litres in!!!!!!
I only go to either pump 1 or pump 2!!!!!
Regards
Ela

Yeah, lousy Esso have started limiting pumps to 60l. Given that I never put in less than about 80l in one go, it's very annoying.
Tip of the day: put the nozzle back in, wait a mo, and pull it out again - the staff are usually clued up enough to authorise the pump for a second go. Then at least you can pay for both lots at the same time.
Or use the lorry pump, but the nozzles don't always fit in the tank.

In the days when I had a Range Rover for desert rallying, in addition to the standard tank it had a 120 litre tank (one of those non-exploding fuel cells) built into the load area.
Can you imagine the hassle filling up that beast?
thermidorthelobster:
I'm planning on carrying about 200l of jerry cans on the 101 in addition to the 100l tank, plus 120l of LPG, so I've got that to look forward to!
A while back a mate of mine had a 110 with wing-mounted tanks which weren't plumbed in, which he used to hold fuel for other reasons. So occasionally he'd go in and fill the vehicle with diesel, one tank with Unleaded and one tank with 4 Star, which did tend to puzzle the forecourt staff a little.
