That borders on the unbelievable, that they have to plan for such contingencies as getting wrong nozzle stuck in filler.

Not stuck accidentally but when the wrong fuel is used. It’s a very common problem. There are heaps of people including some on here that have put petrol in their diesel and vice versa. The filler closes to not allow flow of the fuel - those little do dads reset the closed flap.

Even when tripped the vehicle can still be filled,slowly.

Mine tripped using a funnel to fill the tank from a jerry can.

Aaarrhh, that makes some sense, as every time we had metro health workers come to visit the far Kimberleys, they inevitably filled the diesel vehicles with petrol.
Still amazed that Rover had the foresight to have such an item in the kit.
