Cant Fill Up Gas Tank

Nico 6 · 10-11-2010, 07:11 AM

This happened to me on my 350z and now on my G37. Its mad annoying!

I usually just finesse it a bit. I think it happens when the gas is being pumped to fast. I have to pump the gas at half speed to get it to fill.

Nothing to do with the car and everything to do with the pump handle mechanism. Happens with every car I own at different stations.

It seems to help sometimes when that happens to me if I pull the nozzle out of the filler neck very slightly, just an inch or so. I always assumed it was some kind of weird backflow that caused that to happen, although I'm not sure how when the tank is empty.

At some gas stations have more of a problem then others. Sometimes pulling the handle out slightly will fix the issue.
