Revision question · Environmental issues

You've just refilled your fuel tank. What must you check before driving away from the fuel pump?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

That the tank is completely full up to the filler neck

That the filler cap is vented correctly by keeping it loose

That the filler cap is properly closed and secure

That the tank is nearly full and the filler cap is slightly loose

Show the answer

That the filler cap is properly closed and secureThis was the right answer

Leaving the filler cap off, or not properly securing it, could result in a spillage of diesel onto the road. Because diesel is slippery, this would be a major hazard, so make sure to correctly secure the filler cap after use.
