Seriously.


Turns out the fuel tank is wedge shaped, with the thin edge towards the front of the car, and the thick edge towards the back. The thick edge also holds the fuel pump and pick up.
If you happen to park on a steep enough hill, and have only a 1/8th of a tank left (not enough to set of the warning light though) then it is possible for the pump to be starved of fuel, making it very hard to start the car (actaully impossible).

Ask me how I know.

 

been there, done it.

 

I've always had a theory that Honda's are what good Britsh cars should have become.
I consider this good evidence.
