Hello, next problem on my list and i have no idea where to start is that when you insert petrol pump and squeeze trigger, it clicks straight off straight away.

I've been advised to check the breather?? As this may be causing the problem, it's like when you begin to fill your car to the top the petrol pump clicks off so you don't overfill it, it does that with hardly any juice in the tank.

You wouldn't believe how long it takes to put £10 fuel in

It'll be the breather mate.

And as its stands you can only use the search function if you are a premium member, as it's currently in testing.

I have to admit i've not looked for the filter yet, but i did try and loccate the breather/s, didn't have much look finding them though.

Any rough directions?
