Title: Extendable Fuel Filler!
Post by: Penguinius on October 12, 2006, 21:20:00

I was flicking through this months LRO and I noticed a small picture of a Stage 1 fuel filler neck extended. This was so amazing that I had to grab a torch and run outside. I cannot belive that! I have never noticed it before. Am I the only person in the world who didn't know this?

its (the inserted tube bit with seive)  comes out about 6 inches or so and if twisted it will come out completely so you can empty the said seive....unless of course its missing! :cry:

I'm quite worried of doing that everytime I'm at the petrol station!

I have used it a number of times to fill from the jerry can, but as the jerry is moulting its paint inside the sieve gets blocked, I guess at least its doing its job well.

Well the one on mine is held on by a small chain, so no chance of losing it easily.  :D

Wrap a piece of muslin cloth over the can neck, it will collect most of the bits :wink:
