Having been a driver of diesel cars for most of my car owning life, it has come as quite a shock to me when I have had to fill up my petrol car.  I cannot for the life of me get the bloody pump to work consistently.

For some reason, wherever I fill up, it takes an age as whenever I try to increase the pressure on the pump trigger it cuts out on me.  I have tried rotating the nozzle in the petrol tank almost through 360 degrees.  I have tried to push the nozzle in as far as humanly possible.  I have risked getting my feet wet by pulling the nozzle out a little. All to no avail.

Boo and indeed hoo…
