Fuel Filler

Post by Martin & Kim 6853 »

When I am re fuelling its taking an age to get the fuel in, back pressure in the filler is cutting off the fuel pump. Never had this trouble before. the cars not been fuelled up for about 3 months. is there a flappy bit in the fuel filler line that could be partially open causing the slow fill? Any other ideas? :?: :idea:

Thanks in advance

common fault on the 996 and 997, easily solved by turning the nozzle handle towards the screen when filling up...
