Great War truck Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Tony tried to fill up the Series 3 land Rover last year, the fuel tank being under the seat. The guy in the petrol station seeing what he was doing panicked, shut of the fuel and ran outside to see what he was up to. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Anyone tried to fill up an early body Dodge WC at a petrol station? Lot's of fun! First there is a big pipe and then further down, where you can't reach it with the hose, there is a small pipe (but no funnel into it) which goes to the petrol tank. What happens when the petrol starts flowing is that it ricochets right back at you! Those designers must have had a good laugh when the thought of this!!

Pete Ashby Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Tony tried to fill up the Series 3 land Rover last year, the fuel tank being under the seat. The guy in the petrol station seeing what he was doing panicked, shut of the fuel and ran outside to see what he was up to. Tim I had exactly the same reaction many years ago with a series 3 FFW, the bloke came running out and refused to believe that the tank was under the drivers seat even after I lifted the other seat and showed him the other tank. He insisted that it was some form of illegal modification and refused to turn the pump back on. A somewhat heated discussion followed as I suggested that his knowledge of motor vehicles was not as good as he thought things were getting nicely warmed up when a bloke at the other pump leaned over and told the the officious little s###t to stop pra##ting about and turn the pump back on and let me draw fuel, he refused I questioned his parentage and left in a cloud of blue smoke. Funny now but raised the blood pressure at the time. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 yep deffinately better with the spout mate .......... or get a 'jiggler' off ebay..! cheap as chips and do the job.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickmow Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 A jiggler ? Did an eBay search and came up with The Jenna Jameson Jiggler 7 inch action figure ? Not what you mean I'm sure ? My question then, what's a jiggler ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweight Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Its basically a syphon hose with a one way valve fitted in the pipe. You put one end in the fuel, 'jiggle' it until the fuel is lifted and let it flow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Found this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LASER-JIGGLER-SYPHON-PUMP-/300584553306?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item45fc3c4b5a TBH wouldn't it would be a lot easier to use with one of those rubber squeezie bulb pumps on? That isn't a very technical description but you know what I mean - think Evinrude outboard motor fuel can....:blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
