Fuel

I've put this in the technical bit because its seems to be the most technical thing I do with the D4 at the moment, however do you lot have any idea how to put diesel in without the pump clicking off al the time. Yesterday it took me about 10 minutes to fill the bloody thing up. The best way I have found to do it is to not really put th fuel nozzle in and hold and aim.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a faulty diesel pump nozzle, nothing special required. Just stick the nozzle in and squeeze handle. Thumbs Up

I occassionally get this, but it depends on the pump. Easiest way is to move the nozzle so the handle is about 90 degrees instead if vertical. Make sure you keep the nozzle in & not 'aiming' it or yoiu're asking for trouble or at the least, spilt diesel! Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

I've had it once or twice before on the D4 and think it's down the to anti-misfuelling device, seems to make sensitive fuelpump nozzles hyper-sensitive. Also fine that it likes to splash back if you let it go full pelt until the end Confused

I find that if this happens just pull the nozzle back out a little and it works fine.

I used to get it quite often with the D3 but not had an issue on the D4. I do know that the tanks are different.
