    I had this on my mondeo and you need to put the fuel nozzle in at an angle rather than straight

    The only time I have had problems with my Fiesta 2012 version with the same filling system was when trying to retract the nozzle you have to raise it slightly rather than just trying to remove the nozzle.
    Better to remain a silent fool than speak and remove all doubt.

    When inserting the nozzle its important to get it in at the right angle, if not it just wont get past the flaps properly and jam
