So I went for my normal drive. Got the car hot. Then went for fuel, this time 42 litres, so a ‘large’ fill up. Upon return, the good news is that upon restart no ‘chuggs’.

The only thing that I did that I don’t normally do, was to screw the fuel cap on a little tighter than I typically would.

In one way, I’m please that the ‘chuggs’ didn’t reoccur when they tended to (after a large refuel) but I’m going to have repeat this test a few times before I am really confident that the problems are behind me. That means more drives to burn off the fuel and do a ‘large’ fill up because that was when the ‘chuggs’ had a greater than average chance of reoccurring.

Time will tell, but so far so good.
