Limousine and Caravan

It may be that plastic thing in the filler orifice is not anti-siphon, but to prevent you putting diesel in petrol cars as the nozzle won't go in.

I always thought a diesel nozzle had a greater girth (fnarr) to prevent misfuelling? Hence so many people putting petrol in a diesel as the nozzle will slide in with room to spare (...stop sniggering)...

The only way to prevent misfuelling is revert 1000years so there are no engines that require fuel. Plenty of people manage to put diesel into petrol tanks too. The professional term for these people is oppswit

Got the replacement flap assy in today, that one said CAR where mine said LIM but it fitted spot on so well pleased.

I am glad it fitted, but a bit surprised. I bought one off e-bay for my 2.5 estate, it was labelled LIM and it did not fit. I had to find one marked CAR to fit my estate. Puzzling.

I think the small diameter nozzles were introduced for unleaded petrol to dissuade people from putting 4* in cars that needed unleaded.

Getting petrol mixed up with diesel wasn't a problem then as the diseasel pump was sited over on the far side of a piece of oily concrete where it belonged

If the choice is limousine ie saloon or car ie caravan/estate then the filler cap labelled 'car' is correct for your estate

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, Caravan = Estate, Limousine = Saloon.

Not sure what they call a weekend pikey wagon.
