mitch84 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi When I fill up my tank with diesel it keeps shutting off and I have to hold the handle only a little down so hardly any goes in the tank , even then it shuts off. If I squeeze the handle all the way it just shuts off. I'm not sure if it was the pump or my car but its happened a few times now and is a bit annoying. Any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Certainly try another pump as the cut off could be playing up (I think it works using a vacuum) If it's the same at another pump then it could be a blocked breather on the diesel tank.

Stoney871 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I always hold the nozzle a bit out from being fully inserted or, as you've found the back surge triggers the cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
