When filling up petrol, do you guys find...

Nearly everything is in here to start with.
If it's about your car, or Subaru's in general, put it in "Subaru Chat".

never had filling problems in any of my cars...

the pumps aren't fast enough in my opinion..

freaking waiting 15 minutes to do a whole tank once.. to 55L

i know it takes me bloody 2-5 minutes in other places.. so frustrating..

I don't seem to have a problem with filling mine. Actually, I'm surprised that mine doesn't have that little flap that many (I thought all) ULP fuelled vehicles have.

Mind you, if you want a frustrating exercise in fuelling, try filling a tank with diesel, especially if you get a high flow pump and you're trying to fill a standard width tank.

Yep i've had that problem. I always fill up at my local bp and there seems to be this certain pump that does exactly that but the rest are fine, weird. :)

Haha, I know what you mean about high-flow diesel pumps, used to work at a servo... so annoying for standard vehicles.

My Lib, has not probs filling, when it clicks off the first time it's full, can't sqeeze any more in.

Hey Hey! Watch it buddy! Im Viet tooz! LOL!

But yeah too funny! I think its the angle held and amount of pressure placed on the lever. Just start off slow then increase after.

I think its due to the amount of back pressure the nozzle picks up.
I found it happens on a couple of different cars I think due to the dia of the fuel opening (where you insert the nozzle).
When I first filled up the lib the fuel stopped, then I tried just putting the tip of the nozzle in (I think the first grove of the nozzle sits on the metal ring of the fuel opening (where the cap screws in) and it worked fine. Having the tip just in allows more of a gap around the nozzle.
