And it's cropped up dead after service. Not very inspiring.

The auto-cut off lever on the nozzle normally has 2 or 3 notches. Moving the lever up or down on these positions, controls the flow rate of fuel. Try with the lowest flow rate.

For helping remove any airlocks, try rocking the vehicle gently as it is being filled.

Hope this helps.

Thanks man. But the point is it's not supposed to happen in the first place. There are no air blocks. Lowest rate does not work either. Attendant has to stand by and force feed like you would do when topping up the tank.

If he manually force feeds at a higher rate, is there any spillage? Sounds like an obstruction in the inlet.

What really happened in Service? Were you present with the car?

That the auto cut off is happening earlier is due to back pressure generated. If it happening after service, check if they changed the fuel filter. During that they must have either blocked the breather pipe, or constricted the fuel filling pipe.

Today my wife seems to have faced a strange situation. This morning while at the pump she asked the attendant to fill up the tank of our i10 Nios. She was standing outside the car watching and to her horror the auto cutoff didn’t work. Petrol started spilling out and then the attendant lady pulled out the nozzle. Is there a chance this could be due to a problem with the car? Or is it likely a defect in the pump nozzle?

Defect in the Pump nozzle. Kindly refuel from some other pump and check once again.

Auto cutoff works in a way that the nozzle keeps dispensing fuel until its tip touches/drowns in the fuel, that's when it stops. It is not dependent on the car in any way.

In your case, the nozzle is at fault. Please change your bunk.
