Dear All,
I'm noticing that when I go to get petrol, its very slow to fill (2200SC). I presume that's because the filler has a fairly tight bend below the neck, that the pump cuts off if I try to more than gently dribble it in. Having had the filler neck off whilst replacing rear deck to window rubber, I know there aren't any obstructions there. So is this 'they all do that' - I guess I really noticed due to the consternation of the fuel line behind me - took me so long it seemed that the presumption was I was drawing more fuel than I deserved currently, whereas i was actually only getting enough to make my journey home!
As you may can tell, I'm new to the P6 ways, but this is about all I can fault - what a luxury with a classic car to be able to even think about such minor things, such a well put together car. Maybe fuel pumps have developed faster delivery since the 70's?
cheers
