Some muppet who mistook the oil filler for the fuel filler (I kid you not)

I saw that done on a Hillman Imp years ago. Fairly easy mistake to make
on that car.

I think I mentioned a couple of years ago that I stopped a woman with a
Hillman Imp once from filling her brake master cylinder with petrol

So you did!

I just thought I'd give it another airing


That would cause a problem as as the minimum amount dispensed from
most petrol pumps has to be 2 litres IIRC. Do you just let the rest of
the petrol leak all over the place and maybe increase the fire risk?
