[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 356660, member: 139"] Yup, he didnt blame the fuel attendant. Wasnt the fault of the fuel attendant at all. Was just surprised, as saat put it, that this could happen because according to him, with his previous Accord, he could lock the car and still snap shut the fuel filler door which was spring released? Like a one way catch of some sort. Can go in cannot come out. Unlike the BMW design which cant go in OR out when locked. But the thing is Audi uses the same design. Im not sure about BM but ill pay some attention and see. With Audi, its a little METAL STICK. Imagine forcing that. But i do leave my car unattended too when refuelling to get money, use toilet. If the car is locked, nothing wrong what. All that can happen is they can take out the fuel filler and pour it into a bottle and steal some fuel from you but chances of that are slim. Or someone could sabo your car and pour water into your tank? Unlikely too. So why not if the car is locked? But ive experimented yesterday. If you lock your car, and the stick comes out, you can actually push it in with very minimal force and then the fuel pump attendant can close it. It will still function normally after that when unlocking and relocking. [/QUOTE]
