I needed to add fuel to get it to the service center before it was serviced, as I live a considerable distance away, and when I picked it up I went straight to add in more fuel, to get home. Only to find I am unable to get the nozzle in. I go straight back to the service centre and say WTF it was fine before you guys worked on it.
the zb capless fill point has 2 flaps that prevent the fuel coming out, you have one that you see on the outside but about 2 inches in there is a second one and if that one gets damaged it will prevent you being able to push the pump nozzle in.
the second flap should not get damaged with normal use but one way it will get damaged is if a hose is inserted to siphon fuel, this flap can bind on the hose when removed and bend it causing it not to open properly blocking the pump nozzle.
get a torch and open the top flap and look down it to see if that second flap is closed or bent sideways etc, use a bit of wire and push on it to see if it is opening and springing back correctly.
