My fuel cap is attached to the car with a bit of rubber. Might confuse it a bit. Also a bit slower than doing it yourself! Reply to this message | Report message

To this day I can hear in my head my dad saying "4 shots and 4 please" to the attendant. ( Then handing over a pound note and saying "Keep the change"...) Reply to this message | Report message

Is this a joke? What "problem" is this "solution" designed to fix and at what cost? Reply to this message | Report message

Usual place i fill up with LPG does it for you, but i've found another cheap site on the way to my new job and the other day filled it meself for the first time, despite being well used to air lines the sudden pressure release and propane spray back was a bit unnerving the first time...fair bit of hand pressure required to push the release collar in.

As the grey vote are being made to work longer, why don't the petrol stations employ them to fill tanks instead. It would be cheaper than millions of pounds of technology, and would keep them active. After seeing the "robot" in action I think Derby and Joan would be even quicker. Reply to this message | Report message

At least you could blame it for filling your hairdresser spec roofless fireball XL superzoom with diesel. Reply to this message | Report message
