Ford Escape Diesel used to supply one for the exact same reason
We had one at the same time we had a D4 so bought a spare filler thing from Ford.
As you would all be aware the filler neck on diesel fueled vehicles will only accept the small diameter fill hose nozzle meant for passenger cars.
Should you ever have to get fuel into the tank by other means the cars should have a small funnel which allows you to open that small flap and then fit something else to the so called funnel and get some go juice into your car.
This is all explained on pages 366 and 367 of the owners manual if you were like me and spent $200 to get a manual as LR were too tight to supply one.
Also explained within the relevant section of IGUIDE:
See FUEL and REFUELLING, DIESEL ENGINED VEHICLES, RUNNING OUT OF FUEL where you will find a picture of said funnel.
I inquired via LR as to where I might find this funnel which was to be in the spare wheel well area.
I removed the spare wheel and did a good search.
You guessed it: NO FUNNEL.
You might want to check if your diesel L494 has this as it will make life simpler if ever you have to get fuel by means other than the correct filler hose.
As for me: I am awaiting supply of this "tool"
