Re: [DML] Problem when filling the gas tank

[Soma576@xxxxxxx]

Paul,



When I fill up, I always set it on the slowest-pumping setting.? I think the orientation of the filler opening confuses the pump.? If it is set to fill the tank as slow as possible, I rarely have problems.? Just don't put more in after it shuts off!

I'm not sure others experience this or not, but when I fill my gas 
tank, the pump keeps shutting off.  The handle frequently clicks off 
as if it sensed that my tank is full.  When it does click, gas 
splashes back out of the filler opening, so I need to hold a rag 
around it when filling.  It gets very annoying, as I continuously have 
to keep re-squeezing the handle to start pumping again, several times 
during a fill-up. Is there an issue where the handle does not seal 
properly in order to correctly sense when I am full?  How do others in 
the group handle this?  I keep trying to reposition the nozzle, trying 
to make a good seal.  It has happened at more than one gas station as 
well, so I'm not sure if it's dependent on the nozzle type.

Thanks,

Paul
