It's never done it to me, but then I don't use diesel. Maybe that's why? ;)

U sure u weren't trying to fill it with value washing up liquid?
It's you. I've never had a problem, have you been using cooking oil?
I find that at some pumps but not others. I'm going to have to map out the "safe" ones.
The message from "mr p" contains these words:
Not had trouble.
yes that's what I find, I tried two pumps this morning though and get frothy stuff out of both of them.
Grrrr...

Sure you didn't go to the washer fluid pump? ;)

The antiwaxing agent they put in during winter makes more foam. I've noticed that the diesel in France smells a bit sulphurous but not like Sainsburys perfumed cat pee, doesn't foam and if I use the truck pump it fills faster and I get more power and better mpg. It might fill better if you ease off the nozzle trigger. DaveK.
Ive not had problems with their diesel foaming, just their prices being 1 or
2 pence/litre more than my local Shell garage.Artie
I had that problem at a lot of pumps with my 205D until I figured out you had to angle the nozzle almost vertically to get diesel into it without foaming or the pump cutting out.

Try a small amount of Redex Diesel. Stops any foaming on our car.

I have found Tesco value cooking oil to be fine in my truck!! Been using it now for about 18 months, and it dont foam up when filling either. Slim
