stealthwolf:
Does anyone find the car's more responsive when there's more fuel on board?

I've driven the car the petrol station and it's 'normal', park up, fill up and drive normally but it feels more powerful?

Peugeut only advise to brim it no more than twice as this will coz problems.They dont say why :confused: So I have kept it to that.
some cars you can vent the tank, this is popular with high mile drivers as you can get more in the tank.
Venting is where you push the wee button inside the fuel kneck and it releases  the trapped fumes allowing extra fuel to be taken onboard.
