Filling my defender with Diesel takes for ever. All diesel pumps seem to behave as if the tank is full and I have to hold the fuel trigger/lever in a certain postition to get any fuel to go in. Any ideas to as what the problem is?

Dont put the fuel pump too far in and direct the fuel so it hits the side of the filler neck allowing air to escape easier.

Splashback....have you got one of them gauze filter things in the filler spout?

Mine was quite clogged and is much better now I've cleaned it up.

Failing that try not pushing the fuel spout in so far when you're filling up

Are you taking out the jerry can fill attachment when you are filling? You should turn it and take it out when filling from pump.

I was the same with mine 90 hardtop until I noticed turn round and pull out. Easier and faster from the pumps. I use the filler when I put in the veg oil in etc

Has it got a breather pipe? Is it blocked?
