Renault Clio 0.9 - Refuelling problems with some petrol nozzles - Cosmos69
Hi
I just wanted to see if anyone knows of any problems with certain petrol station nozzles when filling up their cars. Some garages have longer length nozzles but they are hard to find.
Is this a problem with Clio’s.
Obviously a longer nozzle can open the flap at the back but most garages have short ones and this is causing me a nightmare.
Do Clio’s have longer holes - sorry.
Any info would be great as it takes me ages to fill up my car.
Thanks in advance.

Never come across such a problem. But in the past some automatic pump cut outs have been too keen. Got around that by rotating the nozzle by 90° , worked for me.
