filling with petrol

Mon Sep 25, 2006 3:18 pm

Hi

My 320i is a complete nightmare to fill, the fuel froths up and i can only fill it really slowly. From about a quarter of a tank it takes about 10-15 mins.
Is this normal or do i have a problem somewhere

cheers

something wrong there mate, although emptying a 320 tank in 10-15 minutes is quite normal!

Would imagine there is a problem with the breathers on the tank mate, certainly not right obviously!

Thanks for the replies, i've just taken the inspection panel under the back seat off. the breather pipe had split and collapsed a bit, i'll know if this was the problen in two days, when i need to fill it up again

cheers
