From: kotecha.ravi on 2 May 2006 10:40 Hi, I did something very stupid today - I drove off with the LPG filling nozzile still attached to my car. Looks like the nozzle was damaged and so was the pump as it would not work anymore. Just wondering - will the cost have to be paid by my insurance company or are the forecourt insured for this kind of thing? Also does anyone know a good/cheap bodyshop near Leicester as the rear wing of my car is now slightly bent.

There's supposed to be a special easy-breaking, auto-sealing joint in the pipe to prevent damage to things and to stop the gas leaking. Did one here, once. -- Austin Shackles. www.ddol-las.net my opinions are just that "Something there is that doesn't love a wall." Robert Frost (1874-1963)
From: kotecha.ravi on 2 May 2006 18:25 Yes there was a special joint, but it didn't break off.... does this mean that they are liable?

I suspect if it did break off they would be happy to charge you a great deal of money for its reconnection. How can this in any way be their liability? You connected the nozzle; you drove off. Sorry, but I reckon your only hope is that you have an understanding service station manager, or that your insurance policy covers such things. I would imagine that the damage to your car will, in any case, only be covered by a comprehensive policy. -- TSH For email, replace 'SpamOnlyToHere' with my initials LPG info. page: www.tshargrave.co.uk Now with added Biodiesel (and getting a bit out of date) |
