Don't know about you Brits, but that practice is both impossible and
ill-advised here. It's all but impossible to see into the filler neck on US
cars, as there is a very small hole due to the reducer required that is a
piece of regulation that dates from when leaded fuel was still available.
Complete with a little spring loaded flap, the filler is smaller than usual
for no-lead. Likewise, it is said that "overfilling" and 'topping off" will
damage parts of the emission controls.
And, I'll bet he got some ggreat ones!
