Ok will do that. But what I read online...ent it does supposed to be all the way in for the click procedure to work properly to ensure its full?Gladiator wrote:OP just pull out the nozzle a little from the tank. if its too deep it will trigger the pump to cut off... happened to me as well.
Lol ok coolKenjo wrote:OP please don’t light a match and look inside your gas tank. But the gas station pump should be independent of your car if it’s clicking early
Ok...cool.Dave wrote:Sometimes even when not fully inside the fill tube the pump clicks off with some pumps. When barely inside it may not but may also overfill and spill outside so always watch when filling.
Interesting ..cause i use a different pump this time.Cantmis wrote:Use other gas station

The nozzle never clicked when it filled and it was still guzzling out premium when i took it out from the car. I had to flip down the lever on the pump itself to stop it. So it mightnt be your car. It might be the station having faulty nozzles
Running a car on no fuel has a risk of damaging the fuel pump and is expensive to replace.redakkmooz58 wrote:dis did happn 2 me ah time buy $80 and d pump was only clikkcin off n i get d asstitant to pump it. d gage read 3quatter full tank.

I tend to hang it back about 2-3 ridges on the pump, and it will then full and click off properly.
been some time, but think it was the same with the jeep.

I never knew the 3 part fill speed. I will pump slow next time.carluva wrote:This X2.
It may also help to fill slowly. The pump handle on the nozzle usually has three notches on them. When you pull the handle up to start the fill, you can usually drop the small clip to hold the handle in place without you having to hold it all the while. There are three notches which will lock the handle in three different positions each with a faster flow.
Try locking on the notch which corresponds to the slowest fill rate or simply hold the handle yourself to fill slower. A slower fill rate should match the slower vent rate and the air would vent more efficiently.adnj wrote:This.eliteauto wrote:Sounds like a venting problem, air in the tank, you may have to hold the nozzle a little higher, might be venting slowly due to a trapped air pocket and venting internally after you drive off hence the smell.
