Hi guys. On my last two fills of Diesel I have had filling problems at the sames garage on different pumps. The filler always seems to pop as it would do when your tank is full to avaoid over fillings. I have tried everything pulling it out bit by bit, trying a different angle, trying different speeds and now different pumps as well. Does anybody else have these issues? It is a Shell garage that I go to. It takes the better part of 7 min to fill the car if not more. Thanks!

So I judge by the lack of responses that I am the only one with this problem!

Not an expert on diesels, but fuel tanks have breather holes/tubes which vent the air out as you refuel. If this is blocked in any way, then the filler will click off. Alternatively, the garage may have a batch of particularly foamy fuel- try a different station next time, and if if plays up still, get it along for service.
