Suggestion · Original poster

I find that the fuel flow cuts out prematurely as it's not getting down the filler neck and in to the tank quickly enough, so I have to adjust the position of the fuel nozzle and ease off the trigger until I get the flow about right, and keep checking the pump to see how much has gone in, so I can assess which click actually indicates "tank is full"...

Apart from finding a slower filling pump (!), is there a technique or specific position that I should use?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have found some difficulty when filling up my car (2000 C4 Cab), and the degree of difficulty varies slightly from garage to garage (although I usually try to use the same one, as they do RON97 at a good price). I find that the fuel flow cuts out prematurely as it's not getting down the filler neck and in to the tank quickly enough, so I have to adjust the position of the fuel nozzle and ease off the trigger until I get the flow about right, and keep checking the pump to see how much has gone in, so I can assess which click actually indicates "tank is full"... Apart from finding a slower filling pump (!), is there a technique or specific position that I should use? Does anyone else have this problem? TIA.

POST 2Original post

Very similar to when filling mine, sometimes end up with the filler handle turned 45 degrees over the bonnet! (99 C4) But do have to constantly move it.

POST 4Original post

At first I had the same issue, I alway face the trigger towards the windscreen and no longer have problems with the fuel flow cutting off.. at any fuel stations garyw

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks chaps. I'll try some of these variants.
