'truck' size diesel nozzle will not fit CRD filler opening.

[buells1]

Do any of you have trouble with a 'truck' size diesel nozzle fitting into the filler opening? Is there a solution?

 

[OneOneNiner]

There's a solution for everything.

Pump real SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

Yea,I'm sure all CRD owners have run into this when fuel light is on and nothing
but trucker pumps around!!!Dang-it

There's not much you can do, when I go into a truck stop for fuel, I look for the auto isle to see if they have diesel, if not look for the rv island it usually has the smaller hose.

You have to take the fill tube apart and dremel out the molded section to open it up
someone over at LOST did it -
I just go over to the auto diesel side
the truck one pumps really fast and it'll foam up anyway.

Had that problem on the PA turnpike. no diesel pumps at the auto isle and the truck isle had only thunder nozzles on all the pumps. I had almost a 1/4 tank so I had enough to make it to the reading exit and then couldn't find a place with any diesel for a few exits.

I'm too chicken to try filling slow but if I had too like if the fuel light was on a while I would.

There isn't an adapter. You really want to stay with the auto diesel. It will run a tad bit cleaner because it is moving through the filters a little slower. Plus I know stations around here that use a lower cetane rated fuel on the trucker side than in the auto side

Years ago when cars first went to unleaded, there was an adapter that went over the larger leaded nozzle that fit the smaller unleaded gas tank opening, haven't seen one in years, with the truck nozzle they just pump to fast for the filler neck, sometimes you can squeeze it slightly for slower flow, but not all do that.

Carry a gas can, fill it up, then fill up the jeep.

better be on a luggage rack cause diesel stinks

I've been driving a truck for over 20 years now, I don't even smell it
anymore. My wife says I can't smell anything anymore!

The High speed pumps on full blast pump a gallon in like 2-3 seconds.
When you take on anywhere between 50 & 150 gallons per side
(dual tanks) you hope to find high speed pumps.

Diesel Smell

I can't realy smell it either. I have only been fueling with it since August. when I went to get gas for my lawn mower a while back I thought gas stunk.
I got some Bio Diesel on my hands when topping off my tank with the last I had yesterday. Bio has a different smell but I don't find it offensive.

ya im the same way my talons run on ethanol , and i love the way it smells. I now hate the smell of gas

 

[twack]

You can't even find any ethanol where I live.

ethanol is great as a race fuel at a cheap price, its all over the midwest

 

[mikey1273]

We have like 2 filling stations that sell E85, which is 85% ethanol. People with Fords, Dodges, and chevys that have flexfuel capable engine can run it. I don't go to those places anymore since they don't sell diesel but when I did I only seen 1 guy using it.

I stuffed a rag down in the neck, took out the "gasser restriction" with a hole saw on a cordless drill, then I vacummed the filings out and the rag. I have a truck stop 3 miles from my house, I go there all the time.

Nice how fast can you fill the tank now? pics2.gif

I filled the work truck today (100 gal tank), and timed the delivery.
speed on max was just under 3 seconds per gallon pump speed.
4 minutes to pump 80 gallons, not too shabby.

 

[u20101228]

Some of them have a regular nozzle on one of the pumps. I usually just go ask and they will tell me which one has the standard nozzle.

You can not fill it real fast, but the nozzle fits in, and you can do it with out making a big mess.
