On the packet back of these most state, will not fit Metro, Panda and some other car. Typical. lol.

Have a look when you next see one, out of interest, as I've only ever seen one which didn't say this.

Are these rubber bungs legal?. At mot they always check for a good seal on the filler cap. If car tips over in a crash i can imagine a pool of petrol on the road and possibly an inferno with a rubber bung.

I don't know. That is a good Q. But the factory fit one on the 750L isn't liqid tight. Found this out when filled tank to top, then parking on a kerb, and had a little fuel seeping out. But the one on the Selecta is Air tight because I get the Fiat Phart

Your correct selecta man a car WOULD fail its MOT with one fitted but its better than nowt in an emergency


Check the local motor factors Posh they do replacement filler caps for about a fiver if you shop about..

Can you meet my sister please and prove that women can use tools i seem to end up doing anything that involves tools the most complex device she seems able to work is a Bottle opener :bang:

 

[Pandabloke]

Your sister can use a bottle openener!? In these parts that makes her a semi skilled mechanic! Most of the women I bring home struggle to remember their own name, let alone operate machinery. Mind you they can text with one hand while holding a bottle in the other and pulling the cork out with their teeth.

Thats romance in my house......
