Fuel tank filling

[MtHam ACR]

Eric,

Not sure which fuel filler nozzles they have in GA, but in CA they have this vapor recovery nozzle that is a PITA sometimes.

If your local station is using the vapor recovery system, you'll find you can cheat these things by leaving a little air gap at the filler neck, or hold the rubber part back with you finger a bit. This can be station or pump specific too, not all are the same. As I say, don't know if this is the problem you're having or not. Good luck,

Eric

Would never have thought to post this question. I too, have this problem now and again.

Always figured it was a particular pump. Going to try your "method". Sincere THANKS! Always amazes me as to what info can be found here!

Yeah I got it too. Just have to pump a little slower !

Same thing happens on my Durango, I thought it was a problem with the pump (only happens once or twice in ten fill-ups). I'll try your tip and thanks!

Hey Eric,
We don't really have "curtains", they're windows, kind of. To answer your question, I haven't had any problem filling up the tank. It only cuts off when full.

turn the fuel filler (dispenser) upside down.....
place the fuel filler in your gas tank filler tube the opposite way you would normally do it....i have problems also....this works for me...
