Trouble filling fuel
 

So anyone got a solution
Tank was pretty much and to fill it I had to stand there only barely squeezing pump trigger. Any more and it would click and not fill (due to the fuel level sensor). It's done this at a few different petrol stations and pisses me off because it takes forever to fill. No matter how far in I put nosel or how far out I place it or what angle it doesn't make a difference

Common problem? Any solutions?

pretty common mate.

about halfway in, quarter turn anti clockwise works fine for me

There is a minature ping pong ball (in the filler I think) it floats up and stops fuel going into the tank. I have seen one but can't remember exactly where it was on the tank. I believe it can be removed. It's supposed to be a roll over safety feature.

Have the handle pointed to about 10 o'clock, just above the rear guard.
Works for me.

Alright peeps. Ill try that next time. Otherwise ill look at removing that ping pong ball. I'd rather die than spend an extra 5 minutes filling my tank :p worthwhile sacrifice I think

I never go 'full insertion' with the nozzle and that works for me.

Handle at 10 o'clock position not fully inserted, works very well for me ,a cross between Richo and Wes
