Fuelling problems.

I've started having fuelling problems with the F2.

I cant seem to fill it properly without it clicking the pump off every few seconds. Its not just at one garage but several. I've tried altering the 'approach angle' of the hose, but I can only trickle fill it if I want to avoid it clicking off.

Is it a known fault or am I just having a run of dodgy pumps? Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Is the pipe not blocked by the misfuel protection device? There should be a piece of plastic in the boot for unlocking it. Check the manual for how to use it.

Re: Fuelling problems.

You should have a yellow plastic gizmo in the boot that is to be used if you misffule with Petrol, it may clear the problem by inserting it into the filler hole. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

I also find that I can not use a fuel pump at it's full rate because it cuts off, I also end up with a tank with 6 or 7 litres of bubbles which makes getting a brim filled tank very painful to achieve.

I finally got around to using the yellow stick thing in the filler tube, and as pointed out, the flap in the neck of the pipe had closed and now works a treat. Thanks. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018
