IMO the reason some bowsers are better then others is because of the pressure the fuel is pumped at.
Quote:
Fuel foaming -- the fuel's velocity increases as it passes around the shutoff device within the nozzle. Velocity goes up, pressure goes down, fuel cavitates, foam is formed.
The higher the supply pressure to the nozzle, the greater the velocity increase.
Try resting the nozzle on the filler neck and then tilting it upwards as you throttle the fuel flow into the filler neck. Usually the foam will decrease until a clear stream is exiting the nozzle. Where the fuel pressure to the nozzle is pretty high, this technique has minimal affect.
I used to think that air was deliberately injected into the fuel but I can't find any evidence to support this. (had to repair an air compressor at a servo once & they said it was needed for the fuel pumps to work )

Please don't fill your tanks to the lip "Brimming" as its referred to. Brimmed tanks can spill fuel onto the road (through breathers, fuel caps etc.) & this can be deadly to the motorcyclists among us, diesel more so then petrol as diesel doesn't evaporate.
Thankyou

If having trouble filling up with diesel,replace filler filter,undo indicator/stop light behind filler cap,you will see small black plastic filter,when cut open,found paper filter,like paper air filter,it was covered in what looked a bit like varnish,which could have been from diesel fumes,which stopped it from breathing,bit tight to get out, cost $14.00 from Jeep parts,no more frustration while filling up,hope this helps.
I have a 2011 JK CRD and have been experiencing this frustrating issue for a long time now.. thought i would use google and landed here. I always thought it was the bowser, each company looks to use different bowsers.. but during my frustrations this morning i pulled the nozzle almost out of the fill tube and let it just flow at a slow rate into the filler and i noticed it was foaming and bubbling back up the filler. Some 15 minutes later i had managed to get 40 litres in Off to the dealership i think.
Yeah its a strange one.. i will post what the issue was/fix is after it goes into get a service.
As a seperate issue.. i noticed some people in here were posting that they could fit a fast flow diesel pump into their crd filler... i tried this once, all be it by mistake, and it was so fat no matter of forcing was going to get that big boy into my fuel filler. Even if one was to remove that magic tab, the diameter of the pump was such that it was not going to come even close to fitting.. hrmmm...
