Mis fuel system - saves my bacon!!!

Half asleep this morning I stupidly put the unleaded pump in the car and started to fill ... Was going to put £50 in ... 47p in the pump stops and pushes backwards ... Try to put more in ... Nothing ... Then realise my mistake ... What a great system ... Had to read the manual to find the reset tool and how to do it and looked a right di@k in the forecourt ... But total cock up avoided ... Just thought I'd let the forum know the system works ... Not something you'd normally test. 2007 freelander 2 XS td4 Stornaway Grey .... GONE

47p worth? I can recall driving in to a garage in 60's when they served you and saying "put £1 worth in please" and the attendant later saying I could only get 15/- (75p) worth in.

I remember, with my first car, saying "four gallons please" then changing my mind and upping it to "a quid's worth". Those were the days!

I got into beer just at the time sam smiths rose there price to over 50p a pint, yet I was lavish enough to spend 60p on proper beer across the road instead.

I can remember taking my girlfriend out for the evening, fish supper, taxi home and still had change from a farthing, just enough left to buy a loaf of Hovis. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

I recently put unleaded in - £20 worth, I'm diesel and fortunately I didn't start the car, cost me a fortune though to get the AA to drain the tank and to refill it.

I didn't know this system existed! 2010 TD4 HSE Stornaway Grey Metalllic, all the bells n whistles

Eye up, I remember having ice on the inside of the windows, sleeping in socks with a coat on the bed. We then got a gas fire, sheer luxury, oh and a hole in the ground as well.
