I had considered the soldering iron idea, but wasn't shure if diesel fuel could ignite.
Excellent work, could you show another image of the inside of the hole now its done?
Very good, so it looks like you didn't cut right through it with the iron, you used the heat to melt it back into a bigger diameter. I think I will tackle that on mine.
yes....no cutting at all. I just used heat to melt the excess lip from the 9 o'clock to the 2 o'clock position.
As mentioned earlier, I am not sure what the earlier filler necks look like. but on my MY11 van it looks like this.
When you get out to your van, open the flap and put your finger in the hole, and make tiny little circles until you feel the sweet spot. Might as well call it a G spot, as some people might think it does not exist.
Just did mine, using a small electronics 'wella' soldering iron. There is a reduction in pipe diameter further into the opening, but I think the high flow nozzle will go in enough and make a partial seal against the reduced pipe. I will test it next week when I have enough money to buy some fuel. !!
Thanks everyone who responded and provided help in this thread.
Hi flow pumps are for trucks big fuel tanks and some servos have only hi flow pumps that are not good for the majority of diesel cars. I have no problems filling up with hi flow nozle, just need to be patient and find the correct angle.
Yes I agree Brian the cost of diesel and petrol is outrageous , but when you look at how crude is refined diesel is one of the first part of the process so why is it so expensive ?? Then why do we have to have 3 different levels of RON in petrol if car makers were smart they should design all petrol cars engines run on one RON level this would then stop Fuel companies from ripping us off . If engineers are so smart they should be able to do this , then we would not see a price difference of between 12cents for 91 up to 95 then another ten cents to 98 . Crazy .
