Geek2232 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Hello everyone. Even though I've been reading a lot and lurking around, this is my first real post. My 535d f10 2016 has a problem where the pump quickly turns off during filling in order to perform back pressure. I choose to investigate further today after initially assuming it was the vent valve not opening properly. According to what I understand, a plate with two latches that can only be opened by pressing them with a diesel nozzle appears once the fuel cap has been removed. However, I have a question: If anything else comes up The following is confusing in the picture, but you will understand if you know what it is. I next used an endoscope to check for blockages. Lol, what is that? I gently prodded it, if it was there, and it slid another 6 inches down the pipe. Now, I can't get any petrol in the tank at all, hehe. I came here to enquire before inadvertently causing any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrvesBMW Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Nothing should be put there, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek2232 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 The fact that it's moving freely gives me the impression that it shouldn't be there; perhaps it's a nozzle from a Jerry can or something. I ordered really long needle nose pliers and will remove it then. I didn't think so either, IrvesBMW. I tried to get in there and grab it, managed to spin it, and nearly got it out, but I didn't have the tools. I was merely concerned that it might have been some kind of doo dah or overfilling protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek2232 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 The nozzle inserts completely and without any problems. The flap opens freely, and I've tried a variety of angles and pumps, but my fuelling problem has gotten worse today after pushing that "object" farther. All I can hope for is that it's an alien object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I'm crossing my fingers that you get the long pliers. If they don't work, getting out will be a real pain. Yes, I make foolish decisions and have regretted some of them, but some of them worked. I might even try pushing it all the way to the tank.
