Quote from report."I got tired of filling it with LRP: even when you found a forecourt selling it, the pump didn`t fit the fuel filler collar properly, which meant you spent ages trickling the gas into the tank"

Any comments?

Learn to fill it properly. You have to give it a twist and a wiggle to get the nozzle down into the filler neck properly and then it starts filling normally.

If you don't, you have to trickle it in a thimbleful at a time!

Are unleaded and LRP fuel pump nozzles the same size?

Which gas is more suitable anyway.... LRP or unleaded?

I thought all griffs were unleaded/super unleaded.

Think that’s the point he was making .. the filler necks are deliberately smaller to make sure you put in the correct fuel i.e. smaller neck is for unleaded/s-unleaded.
Larger is LRP and the pump nozzles correspond.

Put Optimax in it. That way he can get to the beauty salon even quicker to get his nails done.
