    Used the large fast flow nozzles several time recently in my outback QLD trip in the 09 D3 and had absolutely no issues at all, wouyldn't like this misfuelling device installed on my car. Guess I won't be able to buy that D4 after all

    I am sure you coulkd swap the filler from the D3 and sell the D4 to someone with a D3 and a 'blond' SWMBO.

    mmm, I didn't think to save the old D3 filler when I put the longranger tank in... which BTW, has the large nozzle problem as well.

    I remember in the early 1970's when unleaded petrol first came out (this was in the USA) a few entrepreneurs started selling adaptors to allow the larger leaded fuel bowsers to be used in the smaller fuelling holes for unleaded cars (no doubt highly illegal). Would it be possible to make a similar adaptor out of (for example) the diesel pour hose from a Jerry Can which is the right size to fit in the D4 fuel filler but into which a high-flow nozzle can be inserted? Of course, it would probably require keeping the fuel flowing at partial rates to prevent a spill but better then eyeballing and squirting.

    I thought about making an adaptor but it would need some sort of seal for the nozzle - perhaps an oil seal. It wouldn't help with the problem of having to hold the nozzle all the time but at least it would prevent the fuel from getting sprayed about by the escaping air. Storage would be required for the smelly adaptor.
