I lost the emergency fuel filler funnel that comes inside the boot of the Panda ?*.

Any hints on where can I pick it up online in the UK? Thanks

Didn't know there was one!

gar074 could be in spare wheel well, your glove box or your velcro boot bag if you have the spacesaver?!

gar074 Mine is pretty weird, it didn't even come with a spare wheel but only a fix and go kit.

the Panda, like most cars these days, is not sold with a spare wheel (unless ordered as an option when new). So it will come with a fix and go kit by default. As well as that kit, there should be a double-ended screwdriver, a screw-in towing eye, and a small, black plastic funnel. That funnel (which is nothing special, other than being 'the right size') is needed to pour fuel into the tank from a fuel can: the metal flap in the filler pipe will only open if the correct sized pump nozzle is used (diesel and petrol pumps have different sized nozzles so that you can't use the wrong one by mistake). That also means that there are two sizes of funnel - of different diameters - depending on whether your car is petrol or diesel powered. The funnel in the ebay link above (which can also be bought in most car accessory shops) won't work - it is too small a diameter to push the filler flap open.


To @DigitalFlu - I am pretty sure you can buy a suitable funnel from any good car accessory shop. They are not specific to Fiat -- but you do have to get the right one, for diesel or petrol - because they are not the same diameter. Ask for (or search online for) 'Ford easy fuel' funnel - Ford were the first to use the system, Fiat (and maybe others) have since followed their lead.

For those who like to know all the details, this shows a picture of the funnel (second photo down, lower right black object) , and gives the different dimensions for the diesel and petrol filler nozzles: https://www.askthemechanic.co.uk/general-problems/ford-easy-fuel

Thanks so much for clearing things up, that's exactly what I wanted to confirm, I see a lot of Ford-branded ones for Petrol which should work in my case.

There are plenty on eBay. Are you petrol or diesel, they are different sizes. Petrol is the small diameter and diesel the larger. These are only required with the capless filler system. otherwise a decent kinked neck funnel is all thats needed. I might just have a spare diesel one, but would have to rummage.
