I wish I'd just called out the AA (even though I'd have had to join) as I'm sure they would have drained & flushed it through. From a time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos! |

If you haven't turned anything on, the Miss Fuel guys normally undo the fuel pipe under the bonnet, attach another pipe to it which runs into a suitable receptacle, by pressurising the Fuel Tank.

So, the insurance company's repairers took it in & called me for a bit more info (how, when, where & how far I drove it). They then called in a specialist. Drain, flush, refill..........and away she goes. Cost to me under £300! I haven't got her back yet as I'm having a new fuel filter fitted as a precaution but feeling a little better as you can probably imagine! From a time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos! |
