I am growing a long grey beard at the Petrol Station...slow filling

[bonnietiler]

Ok..I like to keep the fuel topped up and mine was quite low..especially as I am lending the car to my Daughter in Law tomorrow ( I KNOW this will end in tears!) Why though does the petrol pump only allow abour 3 seconds before it switches off...I'm assuming that I have some kind of problem with a tank breather?

Any advice much appreciated

A long grey beard, what does your husband think of this?

 

Had a look round the only answer I can come up with is ;

 

" The usual problem causing this is a partially stuck canister valve. This will cause an increase in pressure causing that fuel nozzle to cut out.
The valve is part of the canister which is located above the rear subframe."

 

Hope you get is sorted shortly

 

ATB,
