There may be an issue with how you fill it but the tech had the same issue as me tbh so Christ knows

Filled up again and all good ( at the pump it pissed out of too )
New phone mic is still poo so I'm convinced its the phone tbh
Paint on the bonnet is very very thin ... It's littered in chips after 3k miles

Hi yes it's happens every time I fill up! Lets see if the paint guarantee covers this problem!!
My local ford dealer said its common and you have to listen for the diesel coming up the tube? As its always quiet when filling up! He also said once its clicked once it then shoots down the overflow which intern floods the forecourt. That's sounds brilliant especially as I'm also a biker!!

Tell the dealer he is talking sh*t and that there is a modified filler pipe from Ford.

Ha! I'm in ford as we speak and yes your right, thank you!
They have to check the chassis number to see if mine is one of the bad ones!!
