Gas Tank Problem
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble with my gas tank, whenever I go to fill it up the nozzel keeps on clicking off every couple dollars. Its like the tank is not venting or something. Has anyone else had this kind of problem, its driving me nuts. Thanks for the help.
Chad

Are you going to the same gas station, if so try another gas station. Could be something to do with the covers they put on the nozzle for vapor recovery.

I've had the same problem.
I heard somewhere it's a thing to prevent people from siphening your gas so there's a few bends in the line. Anyways if you pull the handle out about half an inch it'll work fine.

Keep pulling it out till it works. Just not all the way out.
Also if your pulling up on the handle while it's pumping that may also make it shut out. Realistically if there is something wrong try pulling it out a bit and pushing down on the handle as you pump. That way you can minimize back pressure.

I have that problem every once in a while.... All I do is just pull it out a bit and it works fine after that.... I haven't had to do that for a while...
