Looking on other forums a few people seem to have this problem but no-one can suggest a fix.

I have a Fiesta ST 2014, but I believe the issue is common to most Fords with Fuel Safe.

At certain garages, mainly Tesco and Sainsburys, the petrol pump nozzle will not go in the fuel filler, no matter how much I jiggle it or what angle I approach it from (sorry, sounds very Carry On).

Has anyone got a fix for this? And no, I am not trying to use the black pump.

Thanks for the replies.

Sounds like it must be my 'technique'.

Will just avoid certain garages and pumps. The other day couldn't get the Tesco momentum nozzle, but normal 95 ron went in fine.
