Filling Up Problems

[chrisfs]

Not a very big problem admittedly, but does anyone else find the automatic cut off on petrol pumps cuts in far too easily on their LS430? I have to jiggle the pipe into all kinds of angles to get it to keep putting petrol into the tank and even then I have to keep the volume below maximum speed. Don't remember this as being an issue with the LS400.

Just wondered if it was only my car, or if there is a special technique to get round it.

This used to happen to me to my great annoyance.

I then realised if you twist the pump head to the left, i.e. so your back of your hand is near the boot and the palm of your hand and nozzel are pointed towards the engine then the fuel can go in at full speed and cuts off at the end.

Works everytime and at every pump. I had in-fact forgot about the problem since to solution is just habit now...

And has anyone else noticed that as the price of fuel has risen, so the pump delivery speed has decreased? It now takes an absolute age to fill up.

Not in Ireland... Still the same speed, but the cost goes higher quicker...
