Air release button in fuel inlet

Post by Dan_Edin »

Hi. I have recently noticed a small button on the inner right side of the fuel inlet. When pressed, air escapes allowing a good tenners worth of extra fuel to fit in! I havent seen this in many cars before.

Has anyone experimented with just how much extra fuel the tank can hold? Is it advisable to fill above the usual click?

cheers
