Anyone else experienced this with their S3? It's happened to me twice over 10 years, and ok, I don't exactly use my one much, so maybe a more regular occurance for you mileage munchers?
Basically, whilst filling up, it seems the fuel is frothing up, and the bubbles makes it's way up the filler neck and causes the pump to click! I could only get 3/4 tank in and gave up when it hit 50 quid, despite waiting 10 secs between each click, to let the bubbles calm down.
It happened once many moons ago @BP, and last week @Shell.
The only thing I can think of is, I ran the fuel tank to as low as I would dare, which was 20 miles with the fuel light on, since the V-power had been sitting in my fuel tank for 12 months or so, so I was worried it may have gone off?? Car drove perfectly fine and made good power with 12 month old fuel anyways.
Thoughts and opinons?
