Struth! Knock me down with my last feather. Talk about recycling and old thread biggrin

I did end up solving the problem but not with a new larger inlet. I made an adapter myself. I did buy a couple of things of evilbay first but without luck so did it myself. Doesn't look pretty but works when need be. So a happy camper. A couple of people have seen me using it and thought a great idea and were going home to make one up as had same problem. It sits in a zip lock back in the glove box for quick access. 

 

 

Keep safe out there everyone.

I think a lot of the respondents are missing the point here. The high flow nozzle is much larger in diameter the low flow nozzle. There are quite a few diesel vehicles that only have a small hole in their fuel tank filling point. The truck high flow nozzles will not fit in the vehicle. The OP and a few others are wanting to know how they can modify their vehicles to take the larger nozzles.

 Like Larry (deverall11) I have no trouble filling my car using the Hi-Flow hose.Surely if the diameter of the actual inlet of your car's filler line is smaller than the diameter of the Hi-Flow line,it's never going to handle the volume of fuel dispensed,no matter how flash the adaptor. Might be able to control flow with the trigger,as Graeme suggests,but it's a lot of passing around to save 27 seconds.(sic) Cheers

I too have accidentally ended up at a high flow pump. They can be used to fill you vehicle with a bit of care. Obviously you cannot push the nozzle in very far, but far enough. Just don't use full throttle on the trigger and it will work OK.
