Every time I fill the Zed up, I unsrew the filler cap and PSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Anyone else have this??-sure it's pressure not vaccum as the cap seems to lift slightly when loosened off?? :)

Is it a ZED thing?

 

Cheers.

yiss mine does the same----which is on a regular basis(to regular for my liking)

brian93tt

must be a ZED thing then

Most of my cars do/have done this.. It's supposed to be an indication of a well pressurised fuel system. If it doesn't hiss it can suggest a fuel leak somewhere :(

 

Steve :)

Yep same here as well

Also this is what you're suposed to do before working on your fuel system, as it take the pressure out :D

mines exactly the same

Mine does this too.

 

When filling up, does everyone else have to turn the petrol nozzle 90 degrees too (to stop the fuel supply cutting out)?

same here too - i sh@t myself the first time i did it LOL

i always say that 4 o'clock is the best angle

 

(uh-oh here we go again :D )

Yeah from around 45 tp 90 degs, think it's a sensor thing in the nozzel :confused: or somthing like that, had the same on certain pumps with my old Rover 820

bloody annoying its like the fuel backs up the filler neck then the pump cuts out bstard ive even had some twat come over and say i think its full young man to which i said politely i dont f`in think so mate mind your own business

well he did own a fucd focus

Nahhh!...4.14pm [don't work in the morning] :x: :slap:

i find the best way to fill up!is to pull it out a bit,then put it in again soon gets it up...........................the fuel level that is you sick puppies :p

Spot on.....

 

My ZX, Rav-4 and Corsa all do this too :tongue:

 

The size and sound of the "whoosh" depend on how empty the tank is and how fast I have been driving prior to opening the cap.

 

It is perfectly normal

 

Richard :cool:

I find that having the pump at 11 oclock (so its nearly upside down) works the best.

 

yes the tank cap is meant to hiss when it is unscrewed. If it doesnt it does imply there is a leak some where.
