The first was like what bluebarchetta has said in that handle needs to be in a specific orientation to work properly, however this position could be anywhere. No reason why, but he said to give it a go. Second was that he's had a couple of other SPA cars do the same thing for no reason whatsoever. They take the filler necks off and they are identical and fine yet one spills fuel out and the other doesn't. Now how they determine 'fine' I don't know as I'd be doing pressure tests and material compatibility etc as they may appear identical and fine to the naked eye but if a seal has got a split or air can get in that would explain it. They said to book it in so they can have a good look as clearly it's not normal and they can just change the entire filler next very quickly under warranty, so that's the next step, but I do want to the try the orientation thing first as I'm very intrigued (and sceptical )
