Does this look normal?

I've just come back from the petrol station. Took me about 10mins to fill the tank halfway before I gave up :roll: :x

 

The fuel nozzle refused to go in, except for its tip. This meant I couldn't squeeze the pump more than very lightly, otherwise fuel would overflow and the pump would cut out..

 

Does this look like your corrado filler neck? Or is mine a bit faulty? :x

 

 

My mk2 filler neck certainly looks nothing like that!

Should the metal flappy-bit (in the middle of the photo) be further down the neck?

And how the hell do I fix it? :?

 

Cheers guys

looks fine to me, try another garage, i've seen people drive over the fillter nozzle before, all it takes it that tiny hole on the nozzle to block air flow and the pump shuts off as it thinks the tank is full

Nah the silver flap is in the right place, or is on mine.

 

I have come across petrol stations where the pumps give hassle though, my local BP/Sheel dont have any problems though.

Obviously they had a stupid pump. Looks ok to me...

You weren't trying to put 4* in were you? They use a bigger nozzle on the 4* pumps...

I was putting E$$o super unleaded. The nozzle fits fine in my mk2.

I'll try $hell next time, see if their nozzle fits :)

 

Phew, I was getting worried for a minute... thought I'd never be able to fill the tank properly :wink:

I put some injector cleaner in Monday so payed particular attention to the filler and your's looks the same as mine.

What is that silver flap in the neck for anyway?

Yep, exactly the same as mine and i've had the same problems the last two fill ups... one was at an ESSO and one at Sainsburys, i think they have changed there nozzels - BP and SHELL are fine.
