I can't believe how much time David has spent trying to help people on this mater, but I also feel sorry for all the poor buggers with the problem, it should not exist.
I have read somewhere that a car must fill at a certain rate to meet ADR rules.
I have had a brief look to no avail, and since I don't have the problem I don't want to waste to much time with it.
So maybe that could be an avenue to pursue for some who want to take it further with jeep Aust. Perhaps finding this rule or contact a bowser manufacturer/repairer who would also know what the Australian standard is for which they have to make their pumps meet.

I don't know the later jeep cherokee's, but if you search the forums of the other diesel models I will bet they have filling isues aswell, I have seen a WJ/WG models which also have small fillers.
As you can see they have been getting smaller over the years, but jeep wasn't big to start with and still got smaller

...so it's true then ..... "size really does matter"... sob.
I wonder with the change in fuel capacity of the 08 model whether anything has changed to solve this prob. Ive had my 07 back twice, still is a problem!

While I'm still waiting on mine, I have been reading this thread with interest. It seems from cruising around on another forum, Project-JK that the slow fill problem is not limited to us here.
