Frosch 0 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I tried to feed the contents of my metal 20 litre jerry can into my SR180 today and succeded in regularly splooshing a shed load down the wing onto the tyre and surrounding tarmac. After about 20 minutes and only after probably getting approx 7 litres in the tank and 3 litres down the side of the car I had to call it a day as it was causing such a mess and my arms were aching like mad.I've checked the jerry can and there's no blockage in the nozzle, nor in the breather tube.Do I just have to ram the nozzle further into the hole? Is that it? I never had this grief when using it on previous cars.Anyone else get the same problem or am I just being a dork? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parts-King 792 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Why on earth would you be transferring fuel from a jerry can to your car? Sounds like you do it a lot? Does your local fuel station not have a pump? Just askingKingo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frosch 0 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Every time I drive across to Germany, on the way back to the tunnel I fill up the car and a jerry can purely in case I run out of fuel on the way home. I had a Laguna that I had no trouble with but my Auris appears to want to cause me problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Speed_Chaser 84 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Okay, back to the topic then :) I would never do it like that, there is very easy tool which I use every time, even when filling up the washer fluid: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frosch 0 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 That's exactly how I did it last night. Problem solved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
