fiesta808 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi Everyone, Just joined. Last week or the week before I was due to go to Cornwall from East Yorkshire and with the potential fuel strike bought a Black diesel container and filled it with 5 litres of diesel. Well made it to Cornwall and back and didn’t have any need to panic buy and garages had a ready available supply. Tonight I thought I would decanter the fuel from the container into the tank . Some of you may be ahead of me here ! . As the car has fuel nozzle size detector and therefore the fuel filler (hinge ? ) wouldn’t open with the flexi nozzle of the fuel container ! Can this be over ridden or is my neighbour going to get some free diesel ! It also made me think If I ever needed to carry some on the odd occasion, how would I use it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards 808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 There should be a funnel in your boot (under carpet with the tyre inflator kit/spare wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 most ford cars have a small adapter nozzle supplied which allows filling from a can, the nozzle fits into the filler spout and then you can pour in the fuel, look around in the boot to see if you have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
