Hey guys got a small problem with the Forté. When you go to fill it with petrol it starts clicking like its full straight away... You can fill it but only VERY slowly, if you squeeze the pump too hard it clicks again and start over.
I've only been putting $30 in it at a time due to it taking so long. Any Ideas on what could cause this? Cheers

There is a anti syphon flap inside the filler tube that has probably parted company and is caught in the tube which is restricting your flow of fuel.

Have you tried turning the nozzle on a 45° angle?

Ok so it IS the anti syphen cap.
Next question, how do I get it out? Its bigger than the filler hole is?

On a serious note I suggest think about what your going to do before you do it. Any spark caused and life could get very hot very quickly.
