Thread: What's the deal with our gas tanks?

Every time I get gas I have to move the pump around probably 10x before it finally finds a spot it likes. Is the tube bent funny where the pressure backs up or something? Sometimes it gets crazy aggravating and I'm ready to hose the car and set it a blaze rather than deal with it again.

My dads mustang is the same way. I think the bend is too restrictive which splashes gas back on the nozzle tricking it into thinking its full.

Its the EVAP doing that

I've found that if I allow a few moments after removing the cap for fumes to escape, I don't have this problem. Solved it by simply opening the cap first then paying or using card. Usually takes fuel in like normal once the tank pressure equalizes with the atmosphere.

I only stick the nozzle in 1/4th to half way, works fine like 9/10 times.

idrivejunk, I'll give that a try next time.

I've found that this works but sometimes the gas bubbles up and out before it clicks off. It stays in the nozzle spot and doesn't go over the side of the car or anything but still don't like it when that happens.

I don't use the auto fill feature on the pumps, I always hold the trigger and just listen for it. That way it can't bubble up too high if it wanted too.

i call it paying 20 on your pump

my fills up just fine ..

Real cars fuel from the rear.

I guess I just pull up to pump, take gas cap off, slide card, hit what gas I want, then put nozzle in all the way and put the auto fill thing on the pump on. I had a problem with the 07 gp I had, my 01 and my 08 g6 do not have this problem

My 04 has this issue 1/2 time Just move nozzle around till it works. Have been a few times I just wanted to set it on fire through

The 07 i had, i would have to remove the gas nozzle about half way for it to work
