Q #686 - After refuelling your vehicle, what should you do to avoid spillage?
When learning to drive, it's a good idea to practise filling your car with fuel. Ask your instructor if you can use a petrol station and fill the fuel tank yourself. You need to know where the filler cap is on the car you're driving, so you know which side of the pump to park at. Take care not to overfill the tank and make sure you secure the filler cap correctly, so that no fuel leaks onto the road while you're driving.
Check that your tank is only three-quarters full
Check that you've used a locking filler cap
Check that your fuel gauge is working
Check that your filler cap is securely fastened
