Cool. Now all they need to do is teach the drivers how to drive with consideration for other road users.

And fit 'driving' not vanity mirrors to the outside of the buses too.

If I understand correctly this is a system to stop fuel being spilled when the busses are filled up. So I guess that'd save the company a few pennies.

What I'm unsure of is if they're fitted with a system to stop the diesel from spilling out when on the move?

'Fast Fill Systems' should have, for correct operation, a tank breather which operates by a float (hollow plastic ball and seat).

This will allow air to vent whilst filling/consumption and seal the tank when fuel 'sloshes about' in the tank on the move or when batterin' roon a bend .

So it should help prevent spillage.

Cost of installation will be met by relevant savings in time and waste.

Inshalla.
