Petrol Fill-up Is Slow


Recommended Posts

Bought my first new Lexus a couple of months ago and am very satisfied. My only gripe is that it seems to take an age to fill up with gas!

I find that if I squeeze the filler nozzle handle in a normal way, the petrol supply cuts out immediately. The only way to fill-up is to squeeze the handle very slightly and this takes an age to fill the tank from empty. I've tried various filling stations, all seem to be the same.

Anything I'm missing? Anyone out there experienced the same problem on an RX 300? Any solution/suggestions welcomed.

..........Thanks. The upside down trick does work most of the time. Different filling stations seem to have different makes of petrol pump and the angle of the filling nozzle v's the angle of the RX300 filling pipe seems to vary. Sometimes this leaves a dangerously small amount of nozzle in the pipe..........however, I have found a local BP station where I have been able to fill up quickly, with the nozzle upside down, so they will have most of my petrol purchases in future. The bonus is that BP are in the Nectar points scheme so I'm in for a bonus too!
