I have a 2016 Fiat Tipo 1.6 diesel. For some time now, I’ve been unable to refuel the car normally, as the fuel pump nozzle keeps clicking off constantly. At first, I thought the problem was with the pump itself, but I’ve now tried at least four different stations and the issue persists everywhere.

Before I start digging around the car, I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice on where to start. From what I’ve read online, it could be an issue with the fuel tank venting system.

Try angling / rotating the filler nozzle 🤔

A 9 o' clock position works well on my other Italian cars 😉

Yes I used to have to do this on the Bravo then it would fill fine. You probably need an elegany italian suit and to stand in a special italian way so it all looks 'normal' It was an odd angle to hold the nozzle, but was as you say about 9 O clock. (handle of the nozzle)
