hey guys..
was hoping asomeone may be able to help me with a little problem i have with a 1.1 fiat punto...
it has problems when filling up with fuel , only lets you put in like 50p before the pump clicks off.. very annoying... takes an eternity to fill the tank..
someone told me they thought it was a common problem with the punto but on calling couple of dealers, they seemed to know nothing obvious...??
any ideas would me much appreciated...

thanks very much..
 
Hi! Have you always had this problem? I have a punto mk2 and I have to hold the feulhose in the "right" position while filling the car, otherwise the pump will click off aswell! I think the hole ( :rolleyes: ) is to "tight" in puntos so the feul will touch the wall of the tank if you don´t hold the hose.
 
I have this problem with my Mk2 Sporting as well...

try holding the fuel nozzle tilted to the left... It takes a bit of practice to get it right but after you get used to it there are no more problems :cool:
