Fuel Filler Earth

[Lewis's Friend]

Quick question for you learned types...

My car has a terrible fuel filler/tank earth whereby filling up can take 10 minutes as you have to trickle the petrol in otherwise the pump clicks off.

I'm hoping this is a fault, and not just character...!

Is it likely to be something as simple as a corroded earth to the tank or some such?

Thanks for all the feedback.

For once in my life I was hoping there was actually a problem with the car!

If you ever see someone aggressively filling up an S3 for long periods of time and with unusual posture, its probably me trying to find a place where petrol will actually flow relatively freely...

I don't think I have a blockage/anti-siphon issue, but I will double check.
