I currently drive a 2021 HS Plug-In, great car but one issue. When I fuel the car I get 2 litres in, the petrol pump cuts off and petrol spews out, the only way to fuel it is to keep the petrol pump trigger at a third strength pull. This obviously takes ages to fill the car. We have had the filler pipe out and there are no obstacles in it. I have spoken to MG Dealer service dept and they say that they have never come across this before. Any help very much appreciated. Thanks
 
The only thing I can think of is the positioning of the nozzle. You would not be able to see if it was the same size tube to the tank as in other cars never heard of this one before..
 
Get an appointment with your dealership.
This is not normal.behaviour.
My guess is that the inlet valve,(there is a valve that opens and closes , that lets u refuel the gastank) is malfunctioning , Wich will result in you not being able to refuel in the future.

I had it happen to me too , suddenly I couldn't refuel , they had to replace the valve with something (a tube or so)and I had to refuel for 5-6 months with the same problems u are facing right now.

One piece of advice , when refueling this particular car, when the fuel nozzle Clicks do NOT put more fuel into it , because this car is equipped with a system that's able to reuse even the evaporation gasses, if fuel gets into that part of the system (by overfueling your car) then it breaks and the fuel flap and cap won't even open...

So get it back to the dealer.
 
ISSUE SOLVED !
I found the 'fuel filler' button, down beside the bonnet release handle. You push this button, it tells you to wait, then goes green and says ready to fill. It depressurises the fuel system and allows fuelling without 'blow backs'. I should have read the manual first !!
