Diesel filling - High flow to low flow adaptor
(Preview)
A few weeks ago I started a thread about high flow diesel pump nozzles being too large for my Trailblazer tank but we didn't really find a solution. However today I came across this: Diesel adaptor A$37 delivered. It is a Volkswagen OEM part but, I imagine, it will fit most (all?) cars.
