An aid to fueling up

[spudfan]

I was filling up the Puma in the shed today. The filling side was in the shadow as the overhead light was above the Puma. I was holding a little torch to see when the diesel hit the required amount. I thought wouldn't it be useful if manufacturers put a little LED in the fuel filler recess that would let you see how near to the neck the fuel was. Just a thought. How about it Mr Ineos for the Grenadier?

You dont really need it as the petrol pump hand pieces, have an automatic stop when the nozzle is covered by liquid.

Not in my shed, they don't.[wink11]

Same as mine, thus the idea.....

I dont think that having an electric wire/connection near a fuelling point would pass the safety check.

Why don't you install a light in the proper place in the shed so as you can see what you are doing.

I usually hold a flash light but as it would, the battery died! Owing to the space limitations if I installed a wall light I'd be in my own shadow. It is not a big deal but just an idea that came to me.

Battery not included, nor needed.[bigwhistle]

You could always drill a hole in the panel above, fit a flush mount LED in there and a waterproof push button switch.

If you so desired.

What about fitting the pre defender fuel filler with the retractable neck
It even has a chain on the cap so you don’t loose it
It’s lockable with a padlock (that makes 6 keys to lock up the 110)[emoji853]
Has a screen filter inbuilt (keeps insects out when refilling in a plague of locusts)🤣🤣
And no spout needed on a jerry can[emoji1531][emoji1531]

My series 111 88 has one of those. They do not fit the Puma as it has a narrower neck.

Time to change the whole lot
Find a reducer to fit the tank

Land Rover came up with a good idea, then got rid of it (sounds familiar for some reason)

Maybe that’s why I keep the old bus ticking along[emoji848][emoji848]
