away from the smelly hands issue (i get that also) i had the same problems with filling nup with diesel, it once took me soooo long to fill up that the pump timed out!!!
the bloody lever was clicking off every 2 seconds or so, even when i put very light pressure on the handle!
god i was sooo annoyed!!
i now don't put the nozzle into the car so far and it has since been fine!! fills up nice and quick!!
Filling TDi at the pumps
Found out how to fill it up normally now!
I think I've cracked the slow filling up thing.
For the past month I've been filling it up with the nozzle not put all the way in - and noticed that the diesel foams up and rises - which causes the pump to cut out because it thinks the tank is full.. Thats why previously I kept having to trickle the fuel in.. basically waiting for the foam to go down before pressing the handle slowly. Anyway.. today, I noticed a little button/nub on the right of the inside of the hole you stick the nozzle in.. I pressed the nozzle up against that and noticed a whirring noise.. this seems to stop the foaming - which means the deisel pours in a full speed! Was soo happy - I filled the thank up to the brim for the first time ever.. Previously I never had the patience, and always stoped after 5 minutes or about 15 ltrs..
