When arriving at the chosen servo, it is discovered that the nozzle won't fit under the tray to get to the filler tube on the fuel tank.

The problem-a huge bulbous plastic fitting over the handpiece which carries absolutely useless advertising.

As if there is not enough plastered all over the servo site already.

I did e-mail one of these companies (the big green one-you guess) about this problem, but of course I got no reply.

I can only presume that the sales missed from petrol are more than made up for by the nozzle advertising!

Have your say. Send a letter to the editor

After a time, I and many people I know who have utes have now worked out which servos to avoid locally, and of course when requiring fuel in other towns, it's just a matter of driving through to check if the nozzles have been surrendered to an unending greed for money.

Has anyone else had this problem, or have later model trayback utes been made to accommodate these huge, useless abominations?
