Fuel filler restriction?
russbost - 27/9/10 at 08:55 AM

Under SVA there was a requirement for a restrictor in the fuel filler on a catalyst equipped vehicle so you couldn't (easily!) fill with leaded fuel - just been thro' the IVA manual & so far as I can see the requirement is no longer there (which would make sense as unleaded no longer available) can anyone confirm, or am I simply being blind?

Not been through the manual but I think it's still there along with the requirement for the cap to be tethered.

I can find the bit about tethered or locking cap, but can't see the bit about restriction!

Hmmm... I can't find it either.

Just rang VOSA to confirm it has been removed - apparently they worked out that as you can't buy leaded fuel anymore it was no longer necessary!

Wow! VOSA seem to have employed someone with common sense
