Fuel nozzle gets stuck
I have owned by previous 2004 Ford Fiesta for 12 years and putting petrol has never been a problem.
Now I have a 2012 version Fiesta with the Easy Fuel capless fuel filler and put petrol in 3 times and each time I cannot get the nozzle out easy, it gets stuck.
What is the problem? Any suggestions to the solution before I cause damage?

I think 'they all do that'. I had exactly the same problem this morning filling up the hire car I'm driving at present. Spoke to a colleague who has a Fiesta when I got in the office and they said 'Yeah, mine's like that too'.0 -

So you/'ve got three nozzles still in there? :eek:0 -
Don't put the nozzle so far in to the hole.0

It's a new system where a piece of plastic is pushed down when the nozzle is inserted. This piece of plastic holds a metal flap in place to stop you moving it out of the way with your finger or a small piece of tubing. Chances you are putting the nozzle in too far.
Mine has a picture that shows not to put it too far as the part where it widens gets stuck against this plastic piece.0 -
[FrankieHowerd]Never had any problems with nozzle getting stuck in mine. I agree it is probably stuffing it in too far and too hard.[/FrankieHowerd]0
