I did it the other day, finished work in the white sprinter (filled up last thing).
Jumped into Freddie and needed fuel to get home, still in work mode & put 68p of diesel in before realising.
Luckily 68p is about 2, possibly 3 drips at todays prices so no drama thankfully.
The nozzle fitted fine BTW

So my washer pump is fixed, apparently the grommet between the reservoir and the splitter for the motor had actually melted

Well, I was just about 1/2 way through fitting fly eyes to the bus when the heavens opened.. 2 hours earlier than expected. Hopefully it dies down soon and I can quickly finish it or Atleast make it look half decent then I can do a better job another day as I’ve got too much anyway…

Also, I had an aftermarket air filter (on there when imported), thought I would clean it while waiting for the new battery, but the rubber collar was split, so ordered one of these -

The engine bay gets hot, the factory air filter pulls cold air over the top of the radiator. A ram air filter sat in the engine bay will only get hot air which results in less power.

Not much I can do about it at the mo, as it was already on when I bought it. Haven't had any issues so far (as far as I know!)... Had the Elgrand 4 years.
