Chaps,
My 4200 is a pig to fill with fuel.. it blows the petrol back and really just goes in at a trickle. It takes for ever just to get £20 in at the pump with it constantly clicking off and having to dribble the petrol in.
So..
This afternoon I removed the fuel filler neck to check for blockages. It's all fine.. the breather is fine and the main passageway is clear.
I used an endoscope to look at the fuel entrance to the tank and it looks as if there's some kind of "seal and flap" just inside the tank (if my eyes aren't deceiving me). It appears this would be the problem as it's not dropping out the way when the petrol comes down the pipe.
As the car had a light tap to the rear I wonder if this is some kind of roll over protection!?
I'd rather not have to take the entire tank out so wondering if anyone here has any bright ideas? I can't see anything on Eurospares exploded diagrams that suggests there's anything in the tank in that area.. but there is!
Help!?
