Fuel Pipe

[wazza]

I have had a galaxy ghia 2.3 for one month and when I opened the petrol cap for the first time. it said diesel on the inside of the cover. I have spoke to the ford garage I bought the car from and was told that it is just an oversite by fords and is OK. my question is that every time I put petrol in the car the petrol pump always clicks and so I have to have the nozzle just right so that it doesnt keep clicking. Am I right in thinking that depending on what you car runs on diesel or Unleaded the opening is differant sizes and also colour coded ( my opening is black) as I remeber on my old focus that their was a green rim around the pipe. Am I wrong before I make a fool of myself at Fords.

 

Thanks in Advance

Does the filling station unleaded pump fit snuggly in the petrol filler?

 

If it does then it is an unleaded filler as a diesel pump filler would not fit.

 

If it's a loose fit and it looks like you could get a larger filler in then its probably a diesel filler.

 

I have a 2.3 petrol and my filler is black, it states fuel type (unleaded) on the inside of the flap.

 

Hope this clears things up for you.

Common thing when filling up, I find that haveing the handle of the nozzle facing upwards and towards the rear of the car helps or not haveing it fully inserted also helps!

or not haveing it fully inserted also helps!
