As long as you only make the mistake once…Re: Filling up an MAN !!!
by Muckaway » Tue Dec 31, 2013 4:54 pmSlightly concerning that so many people have such trouble refuelling.
I’ll be asking which way to turn the steering wheel next

The steering wheel is massive

…if someone wants the diesel and can’t access the filler they’ll just hammer the gauge unit out or put a hole in the tank !Exactly.
Our firm don’t use any anti-syphon devices and we always leave the filler caps unlocked.
Better to lose a bit of diesel than to lose a bit of diesel and have to pay for repairs too.
I’ve said this before. I was shot down and told to ■■■■ off and do my job etc. Shock horror another driver says it.

A Tennis Ball is your most valued item when refuelling. Used one for years, saves looking for something to jam the nozzle open and it can be adjusted to control the flow,Seemples.
Ad blue cap works for me. Just don’t forget to put it back on
2 pages on how to refuel a truck 
Wonder how many it would get to for checking tyre pressures

Were you forced to read it all then ?
Not read it all, just added a bit to the forum

Well try reading it before you comment, it’s not so much about fueling a truck as a design fault that makes it take longer and be more of a pain in the arse, that’s all.
Some drivers ■■■■■ about ‘divebombers’, some ■■■■■ about the hours, or having to work on a normal bloody working day because it’s between the Christmas period.
The OP ■■■■■■■ about wearing a load of diesel because of a design flaw.

The MAN I drove I had to raise the body to get to the filler tank because it had a (P word for thieving nomad) pipe fitted. Disgraceful.
Why read it all before a comment?? That only encourages those to have a go because they can or twist a comment to suit their need. I think this may be the 2nd post I’ve commented on and instantly got a negative response
I think refuelling should be covered in the dcpc!
