Re: filling a 4kq



Same problem on my ex '90 90q20V as well as my current 94 90csq.

Didn't bother me too much until I moved to New Jersey.  In NJ, there is 
only full service gas stations.  Being winter, the last thing an 
attendant wants to do is to hold the pump, so they usually proceed to... 
let's just say the audi gods have it in for me for allowing such wanton 
abuse.

Back in LA/SF, I "solved" the problem by passing by cheap arco and exxon 
stations instead going to Mobil stations with the new pump with vacumn 
fuel recovery systems.  But being Jersey and all, these pumps do not 
seem to have received Christie Whitman's motherly kiss of approval so I 
have to go to Manhattan ($1.60+/gal.) to enjoy hassle-free, self-serve 
pumping.

This is so annoying, I've seriously considered going to Paul Miller 
(standard-shift-A41.8T D-Day = end of March) and putting a down payment 
on an A41.8T-standard or moving out of Jersey, which is the likeliest 
scenario.

To all you A4 owners: any filling problems?  I'd certainly like to know.
