Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

I have a 1996 Corsa merit, friends of mine have sports, LSs, GLSs, GSIs etc and we all have trouble when refuelling.

When I insert the nozzle into the tank I'll squeeze the trigger and I'll get about 1/4 of a litre then the pump will cut out like it would if I had a full tank. But I don't have a full tank, I work at Tesco, I can't afford a full tank! I digress, the fact is that we all have this sam problem, I've tried different petrol stations, checking to see if the entrance to the tank is blocked or restricted in some way, inserting the nozzle at different angles, depths etc, and I've tried squeezing gently - which works, but I end up waiting 5 minutes to stick a tenner in.

I want to know if others of you have this same experience and if there's something I can do about it.

Thanks, Adam.

try diesel instead. this should sort out your problem.

Yeh same problem its a pain
Ive tried eveything and the onlyway I can fill up quickly is to just stick the tip in and watch that it doesn't come back out at you.

Ive been told if its realy bad it coulf be a blocked breather that lets air out as you fill up.

How do I go about sorting that then?

breather pipe on the top of the fuel pipe you need to get a new one its really really hard to clean on the pipes their only about 3mm thick

lol, i thought it was the pump that made it do that

It's because they aren't doing it reyt

that gonna be pricey?
