TSB for "fuel tank difficult to fill"

enkei2k · 03-04-2013, 05:00 PM

This happened to my 2012 a few times.

I assumed it was because my car found out I wasn't putting Shell gas inside so she was kinda upset at me.

This has happened to me twice in the last couple months. Completely random at gas stations I'd been to multiple times. Never happened before though. I have an 09.

Driving different roads lately and fuel settling in passenger saddlebag?
Happened to me once or twice with my z33 back in the day. I always chalked it up to being one of the flaws of the saddle tank design. *shrug*

The only way around it was to 1)wait a very long time at the pump to finish off or 2) go drive around in clockwise donuts
