I can't fill up my Qashqai...

I have tried 11 times to fill up my new quash qua without success petrol come soon back out , dealer said you have to hold to petrol filler and place in tank a certain way, getting worried I can.t fill up and may run out of fuel I m g eating

Our answer:

Hi Irvine,

Assuming there's nothing wrong with the neck of the filler in your car, try a few different 'depths' of pushing the nozzle in and instead of pulling the trigger fully, try gently applying pressure at first. Many cars build up air in the filler, which causes the fuel pump to stop filling, so that could be your problem. 

If not, get the dealer that sold you the car involved, telling them you've tried everything.
