this VW part also works... diesel at least not sure about petrol.

Volkswagen Genuine VW TDI Diesel Fuel Nozzle 000072709​

Thanks for the reminder @bakepl.

I had tried to obtain this genuine VDub adaptor a couple of times but it was always out of stock. Currently available from Amazon. Cost me A$36.69. Delivered in 12 days ex-USA.

Length 135mm
Filler end OD 25mm (bottom)
Nozzle end ID 42mm (top)
Nozzle recess depth 25mm

Haven't used it yet. I expect it will take some trigger whispering to refuel without blow back or nozzle cut-off.

Reminder: You only need a solution like this if you're refuelling a diesel Grenadier from a hi-flow pump that is fitted with a large diameter nozzle, as is often found at truck fuel stops in Australia.

Finally had a chance to 3d print the protoype based on the .stl file that was drawn up and is uploaded in the resource area. I haven't had a chance to test it for actually assisting with the filling of the tank but it looks promising.

A couple showing the support structure needed as it was printed in the upright position.

Wakeo I have another project that I think might be suited to 3d printing , I realy miss the seat arm rests that I had in my freelander 2 and the IG does not even have a centre consoul rest . I was driving my disco 2 the other day and noticed that the centre consoul box and lid are very close to the same size as the IG , I took one off a spare parts disco I have end it fits pretty well except it is still to low for an arm rest and needs to be about 50mm higher , now I am at the pointy end of the problem . Would it be possable and feasable to print a spacer to fit over the IG box and fit the disco2 lid ? The dimensions of the lid are 9 inches w x 10.5 inches l , With the lower dimensions I would think it would be better fo you to look at yourself and may be incorprate a flange of some sort for fixing .

Definitely one of the tool essentials. Should be part of the onboard kit. You get it on amazon for nothing. No need to 3D print it
