Whenever I refuel, the pump constantly cuts out, the only way is to hold the handle really lightly which takes ages, and bloody Tesco's pumps cut out after 3 mins  Oh well worth it for 70.9p  Anyway, what could be the problem? Unleaded by the way.

as Adam says, its a problem with the return pipe
idea is as you put fuel in, the air displaced is pushed out thru this tube, if it aint functioning then the air trys to come back up the filler neck and pushes fuel back into the pump which then triggers the overflow sensor in the pump

Ok, thanks. Does anyone know how much a new return pipe is, and does it take long to fit?
