Thanks for moving
Thanks for moving the post, I was thinking about putting it int he xtype section to start but thought it may relate to different cars also.
I have bought another filler pipe ($40) looks about new. When that arrives I'm going to scope that and see and post back a new video. May end up having to switch out the pipes but we will see.

I'd love to hear the outcome of this..... My Jan04 53 plate 2.5 Xtype Estate has the same issue, takes me about 15-20 minutes to fill the damn thing from empty..... driving me nuts....
had it since i bought the car 3 months ago.... the thing came with a full tank of gas..... i wonder why......
grrrrr

(my current theory is that it may be some kind of pressure equalisation problem...... if there's a blocked vent of some sort on the tank, then the air can only come oput the same way the fuel is going in, thus having to fill it slowly works fine, as the air coming out and fuel going in can pass each other without backing up, but when you try and fill at full rate, the fuel backs up on the air coming out on one of the tortuous turns of the filler pipe..... )

update
Just to update this post. The new pipe came in and here is the video scoping it
What an 05 jaguar fuel filler pipe should look like inside - YouTube
As you can see there should be NOTHING inside the jaguar xtype fuel filler pipe. This type seems to have a separate air line not along with the filling pipe.
I will post another reply when i have time to get the pipe off the car and maybe find out what is stuck in the pipe by pushing it out from the other side.
Someone at some point has put something down this pipe! Pretty annoying just lucky i can still fill it.. just about.

I'll be interested to see what it is.

Finally had time to get this thing out the pipe. Its one of these but in clear plastic. It says on the top caplugs which is the company and RC-12 which is their code for the size i think. It looking like metal on the bottom was just an illusion
It was in the car when i got it so don't know what annoying person put it in there! Whoever it was is most annoying though!
