Hey all, new to the forum. Got my 2017 f-type back in august 2016 and love it with one exception. Every time I go to fill the gas tank, it shuts off after a few seconds. I have to stand outside and keep holding readjusting and readjusting the pump...it's INFURIATING. Any advice???

Welcome to the forum Jane,
Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.
Jaguars have long been sensitive to high delivery rate fuel pumps. On full flow this can be faster that the filler pipe can clear into the tank and it backs up tripping the pump cut off to avoid a spillage. Here in the UK, the 'lock' feature on pumps allowing you to set them running and walk away was removed many years ago for safety reasons. We get used to reducing the flow rate on the trigger which gets over the issue of cutting off. US members in the F-Type forum may have tips to get over the issue.
Follow this link F-Type ( X152 ) - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the F-Type forum for help, advice and information.
Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Hello,
As others have said, you might have better success filling the tank if you only go about 'half throttle' on the pump. My Sonata requires that or I have the very same result you're getting. It takes a bit longer maybe but isn't Nearly as frustrating.
