Having read some old threads I'm happy to report that my incredibly slow to fill 54 plate is fixed.
Just ran the tank low then disconnected the filler neck at the bottom and removed a piece of plastic That was obstructing the tank entry
10 mins. Happy days

mines a 2002 and maybe they only fitted it in the later models as ive never had problems with filling the tank

It made no difference. It got to the point where anymore than half a squeeze of the trigger would be too much as the diesel was coming back up the neck. All good now tho
