Imagine my suprise yesterday evening when i pulled into my local filling station to give the old girl a full tank of diesel. As i removed the cap and placed it onto the little holder the bloody thing separated, hit the floor and smashed into dozens of pieces. I hope this is not the start of a self destruct phase.

Whilst i'm on can anybody recommend a polishing machine or should i go with old fashioned elbow grease. I have heard of machines damaging paint, i know that in skilled hands that will probably never happen but for a rank amateur what are your suggestions?

Cheers Andrew

Hi
sorry to hear about your fuel cap....
That would not of happened if it had been a PETROL cap

Link to polishing machines below...And they are well worth the small outlay
NO more messing around and they are very easy to use,trust me they will save you loads of time.

Thanks for the links mobbster i'll enjoy reading about the polishers Seriously if they do a good job and cut the amount of time required it will be a good investment.

As for the fuel cap, if i had a petrol, i would probably have worn it out by now taking it on and off to refuel

Regards Andrew
