OK - but how many of us have driven an unfamiliar hire car into a filling station to top up before returning the car only to completely fail to work out how to release the petrol filler flap/cap. I worked out a while back that there is the little arrow showing you which side it is on which avoids the embarrassing reverse out and back in the opposite side but I have been totally beaten a couple of times with the top secret release mechanism!

Only on some cars (looks to be a manufacturer thing). My previous Ford had one, I don't think my current Vauxhall does. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 My Saab 9-5 Estate had a button on the driver's door that released the filler flap. I was surprised when we bought a new Yeti it didn't have the same and our latest Karoq doesn't either. Such an easy thing I would have thought it was standard these days. steve 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to move the car. No need for any embarrassment. Modern petrol pumps are designed with long enough hoses so that the nozzle will reach both sides of the car . . . . just so long as you haven't parked too far away from the pump, although then, of course, you'll probably be blocking the next lane. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronL Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I used to work for a company that gave its senior executives BMW 320s. These cars had a central locking button just behind the gear lever. One day the Chief Finance Officer got out of her car to post a letter, leaving the keys in the ignition. Her Jack Russel Terrier, who was in the car but not restrained in any way, jumped into the front, trod on the button and locked her out. She wasn't happy, and neither was the CEO who had to drive out to her with a spare key. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you just push the edge of the flap on the Yeti and it pops open. I suppose on the Saab the sealing cap is secured to the back of the flap so you don't have to unscrew it? Sounds like typical Saab overengineering! I prefer the separate cap as its a bit more fuel tight! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the separate cap as its a bit more fuel tight! It was only the covering flap that was released. There was a 'proper' screw on fuel cap inside. Extra security rather than over engineering to my mind. We were showed how to open the Skoda flaps when we took delivery of both cars... I like neat idea of the ice scraper that Skoda fit to the inside of the flap of the Karoq. Clever. steve Edited June 17, 2020 by steve1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

APOLLO Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Time for a Little Johnny joke --- Fred and Mary got married, but can't afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred's parent's home for their first night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his Mom if Fred and Mary are up yet. She replies, "No". Johnny asks, "Do you know what I think?" His mom replies, "I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to school." Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, "Are Fred and Mary up yet?" She replies, "No." Johnny says, "Do you know what I think?" His mom replies, "Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school." After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, "Are Fred and Mary up yet?" His mom says "No." He asks, "Do you know what I think?" His Mom replies, "Ok, do tell me what you think?" He says: "Last night Fred came to my room for the Vaseline and I think I gave him my airplane glue." Brit15 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
