OK, I searched the internet looking for advice, but I'm stumped. I have a diesel hire car at the moment, a Jaguar XE, and I can't for the life of me get a good flow going from a diesel pump. It cuts off with the slightest finger pressure on the "trigger". The nozzle also doesn't seem to go very far into the neck of the fuel tank. Do I need to try to force it in further? It just seems to come to a hard stop. I need to have the nozzle most of the way out to get any flow at all.
Help!

Also happens to most JLR or Ford diesel vehicles manufactured after March 2008 - they all share the same anti-syphon and wrong fuel-nozzle technology.

Years ago my Dad had a (petrol) Vauxhall Astra that had some sort of problem like that, it would take about 20 minutes to fill the tank and really piss off anyone waiting behind him. If I remember rightly it was caused by a kink in the filler pipe when it had been installed. Vauxhall wouldn't fix it because that would have required changing the whole petrol tank, which was a huge job and they didn't accept that it was a serious enough issue.

I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
Unless it's hot enough you could drop the match into the diesel and all it would do is go out.
Try putting nozzle in then withdrawing so it's only just in and let fuel flow slowly
